How does a writer who is frequently the butt of racist jokes handle trolls? Author Wajahat Ali talks with Salon's D. Watkins about how he responds to his fan mail, how his family survived the rise of Islamophobia post 9/11 and his non-traditional journey into becoming a writer. Ali's book, "Go Back to Where You Came From: And Other Helpful Recommendations on How to Become American," is available now.
