Story highlights Jake Anantha, the man escorted out of the rally, said he is a Trump supporter

The 18-year-old from Charlotte said he feels that he was racially profiled for being half-Indian

Charlotte (CNN) A man who identified himself as half-Indian was escorted out of a Donald Trump rally on Thursday out of concern that he was a protester, but the man insisted he was a Trump supporter and said he feels that he was racially profiled.

Jake Anantha, an 18-year-old from Charlotte, was approached by a member of Trump's security team and then ushered out by police. He was told that he resembled another man who had previously disrupted Trump rallies.

"I told him I've never been to another rally in my life," Anantha said. "I'm a huge Trump supporter. I would never protest against Trump."

Anantha later tweeted that he would be voting for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson in November.

"I will definitely be voting Johnson on November 8th," he wrote Friday.
