What Kal Penn calls turning bigotry into love is Drunken Woman Pickup Sexa powerful force indeed.
The actor flipped a vile social media comment on its head Saturday, using the message of hate to rally support for Syrian refugees to the tune of $50,000.

He linked to a crowdfunding page entitled, appropriately enough, "Donating to Syrian Refugees in the Name of the Dude Who Said I Don't Belong in America."

The fundraiser was launched one day after President Donald Trump signed an executive order widely banning many Muslim refugees and visitors from the United States. Syrian refugees are banned indefinitely.
"We are better than the hateful people who tell us we don't belong in our own country, that America can't be a beacon of freedom and hope for refugees from around the world," Penn wrote on the crowdfunding page. "We will turn their bigotry, along with the President's, into love."
He set a fundraising goal of $50,000 to go to the International Rescue Committee, an aid group that supports refugees. Less than four hours after Penn announced the effort on Twitter and Instagram, contributions had already topped $36,000.
