I can imagine that many of the relatively few real racists in America felt sort of a confidence boost by Trump's victory, and some of them might even believe we're going into a new era where display of open racism becomes more acceptable. So what we might see here is how nasty people dare to express racist sentiments more openly than they dared to show before the election.

But we have to remember that this isn't an established fact. The examples in the twitter thread (or whatever it is) are circumstancial and might, or might not, reflect a real life trend. Let's not draw conclusions before we know the facts.

But even if it is an actual increase in racism expression, it might very well be temporary. I believe that things will go back to normal within a few days.

Generally speaking there aren't many racists in the West and racism is a relatively limited phenomenon. It's blown out of proportions and used as a tool against the majority population by people with an agenda.

What about the actual reports of people being beat up at Universities for being certain religious or race or simply targetted by grafitti. The thing is, it has increased, but you are correct only time will tell the actual effects. Also your last little sentence, tries to mute what is actually accuring. The worse thing you can do is try to silence crimes like they don't happen. Agenda or not, these events are happening.

Those reports are very vague. I don't believe in it until solid proof. Violent physical assault is something white guys very seldom do.

We don't know if racism has increased. There's a claim about increased racism but no facts.

About the last sentence, that these things are blown out of proportions by people with an agenda. That's very important. It's key to the whole thing. Why is one side only interested in crime commited by white people?

If there is one side that belittles crime victims it's the left. Always explaining away, always going at lengths to analyse and understand the perpetrator.

So why can't we do it now?

"These unfortunate acts were probably commited by frustrated white people with troubled lives, taking out their frustration on complete strangers. On people who they associate with radical changes in society, like globalization and mass immigration. Changes that they feel they have become the victim of, where people have lost their jobs that have been moved overseas. Some perpetrators are suffering from mental illness. They didn't really mean to hurt anybody. These people need society's help and support. Now we need government funded reforms more than ever to support marginalized people. This is not an issue about real racism, it's about broken people."
