Ahmed's speech pointed to the rise of hate crimes, which surged in the U.S. after Donald Trump's election and increased 326% in the U.K. since last year's Brexit. In his speech on diversity, Ahmed stressed the importance of minority individuals seeing themselves and their stories on screen and as part of a national narrative. 。

Before he was in an international cinematic spotlight, Ahmed's work as a writer and rapper was full of sharp political and cultural observations.。
"I'm here to ask for your help," Ahmed told Parliament. "I'm here to ask for your help in finding a new national story that embraces and empowers as many of us as possible, rather than excluding us and alienating large sections of the population." 。
