One person posted: ‘Can’t say that Schindler’s List joke was uh in any good taste!’
Another added: ‘A list isn’t a form of stationery, so “Schindler’s post-it’ doesn’t make any sense. bad joke.’
‘That was as CHEAP leftist antisemitic comment by this f***, Kumail Nanjiani… Schindler’s Post-It. Don’t invite him back’, another said.
Nanjiani was handing out the reward for Best Live Action Short on Sunday when he made the remark.
