"Since Donald Trump won the Presidential election, there has been a dramatic uptick in incidents of racist and xenophobic harassment across the country. The Southern Poverty Law Center has reported that there were four hundred and thirty-seven incidents of intimidation between the election, on November 8th, and November 14th, targeting blacks and other people of color, Muslims, immigrants, the L.G.B.T. community, and women. One woman in Colorado told the S.P.L.C. that her twelve-year-old daughter was approached by a boy who said, âNow that Trump is President, Iâm going to shoot you and all the blacks I can find.â At a school in Washington State, students chanted âbuild a wallâ in a cafeteria. In Texas, someone saw graffiti at work: âno more illegals 1-20-17,â a reference to Inauguration Day. Such harassment occurred throughout Trumpâs campaign, but now appears to have taken on a new boldness, empowered by the election of a Ku Klux Klan-endorsed candidate who has denigrated women and racial and religious minorities."
