"Stranger Things" star Caleb McLaughin told an group over the weekend that
some fans of the show are racist because they wouldn't take pictures with him
during the first season.

In a video that surfaced on Twitter Sunday, the 20-year-old actor said at the
Heroes Comic Con Belgium that he dealt with racism early in his career after
being the only "black kid" on the series.

"It definitely took a toll on me as a younger kid," McLaughlin, who plays the
popular character Lucas Sinclair on the hit Netflix show, shared in the clip.
"My very first Comic Con, some people didn't stand in my line because I was
black."

"Some people told me, like, 'Oh, I didn't wanna be in line because you were
mean to Eleven,'" he added, noting Millie Bobby Brown's character on the
series. "Even now, some people don't follow me or don't support me because
I'm black."

He also shared that, "sometimes overseas you'll feel the racism ... the
bigotry."

"Sometimes it's hard to talk about and for people to understand, but when I
was younger it definitely affected me a lot," McLaughlin told the group.

WATCH:

here's caleb talking about how he had to deal with racism just
because he was "the black kid who was mean to eleven in season 1"
and felt like it was important to share his thoughts on that ??

Looking on Caleb's Instagram account, it appears he has 15.4 million
followers, with another 1.5 million on Twitter. In comparison, some of his
fellow costars like Brown have 58.5 million followers on Instagram, Finn
Wolfhard has 26.3, while Gaten Matarazzo has 18.7 on the social media
platform.

McLaughlin said both he and his parents have attributed his follower account
in the past to him being "the black child on the show."

"Why [do I have] the least amount of followers?" Caleb said he would think
when he was younger. "I'm on the same show as everybody from Season 1. My
parents had to be like, 'it's the sad truth, but it's because you're the
black child on the show.'"

"Wow, that was crazy," he added. "Because I was born with this beautiful
chocolate skin, I'm not loved. But that's why with my platform I want to
spread positivity and love because I do not give hate back to people who give
hate to me."

For fans of the show, Lucas has been a beloved character from the very start
where his character has grown and become more popular every year.

Or maybe they just don’t like you because you’re an obnoxious ignorant

So he inherited being a noxious ignorant jackass from his obnoxious
ignorant jackass parents.

"We're not saying anything new here. We're just saying the same
things that need to be said again and again with fierce conviction."

But you left out "racist," because he's clearly at least a racist as
those he hates. And probably more so.

So people literally told him the reason they didn't want his autograph
is because his character was mean to Eleven and he somehow turned that
into racism?

Or, you know, it could be because he's in a supporting role and those
others are leading roles... but sure, let's go with racism. When in
doubt, it's racist. That's the standard these days, right?

The definition of "racist" these days is "someone a lefty doesn't
like, so you should be put in a reeducation camp and tortured until
you're not white any more."

So per the troll's tortured logic it's only possible for a "lefty" to
not like white people? How the fuck does that work?

Sorry kid. (1) Your character wasn't/isn't appealing (2) Your acting skills
aren't appealing (3) Your race-baiting and cry-bullying are unappealing
