"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" actor Riz Ahmed claimed he was racially profiled on a flight in April, causing him to miss a Star Wars Celebration convention in Chicago. Ahmed, 36, made his comments Tuesday at the CAA Amplify conference, Variety reported. The Department of Homeland Security wouldn't comment on any alleged incidents without being given a specific date. He pointed out that the success of other high-profile Muslim stars hasn't necessarily helped the plight of other Muslims in the United States. Because it’s really scary to be a Muslim right now.
