"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.

"Wow, that was crazy," he added. "Because I was born with this beautiful chocolate skin, I'm not loved.

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

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

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."
