> The US is experiencing a wave of xenophobia and outright hate right now.

Were there actually any reported hate crimes, or is this just rumors and confirmation bias? People are definitely on edge today, but I felt it more from the Clinton supporters.

(I know of the swastika graffiti in Philly, but that could have been from either side.)



My wife is an instructor at University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Yesterday all faculty/staff/students got an email about a girl who was assaulted. She was walking down a street close to the university. Two white men (one in a Trump hat) pulled up next to her in a car, hopped out, hit her over the head with something then stole her hijab and wallet. http://www.theadvertiser.com/story/news/crime/2016/11/09/ul-...


Apparently the link now shows the story to be fabricated by the victim. :\
