#MovementMondays Rizwan “Riz” Ahmed Riz, also known as Riz MC, is an English actor and rapper. His parents moved to England from Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan during the 1970s. Riz has played several roles that have dealt with racial and Islamic stereotypes. He has even been outspoken about being racially profiled at airports especially through his music. It first happened in 2006 when he was on his way back from the Berlin film festival where he had promoted the independent film The Road to Guantanamo. He says he was illegally detained, questioned and threatened. He went on to write a song inspired this experience called “Post 9/11 Blues.” In 2016, Riz starred as Nazir Khan in The Night Of, a college student wrongly accused of murder – a crime that unleashes a simmering undercurrent of racism and Islamophobia. While on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Riz said “This is what British looks like. It looks like me. It looks like Idris Elba. And hopefully through Nasir Khan, America can see it’s what Americans look like, too.” In an article in the Guardian, Riz has stated that there are three career stages of any minority actor - “Stage one is the two-dimensional stereotype – the minicab driver/terrorist/cornershop owner.” Stage two challenges the stereotype. And stage three “is the promised land, where you play a character whose story is not intrinsically linked to their race. There I am not a terror suspect, nor a victim of forced marriage. There, my name might even be Dave.” Riz just appeared in Star Wars: Rogue One.
