Two quick comments/questions. (1) A student that I mentored in India is now in Baltimore in graduate school. She is still not very cognizant of American culture. During a recent Skype call I told her to be careful and wary in the days following the election, just in case violence flares up. I think it might. I don't know it will. But just the thought leads to some extra street smart vigilance if you might be a member of a targeted group. She is visibly not Anglo-Saxon American and I actually do have some fears of some second amendment actions in the wake of the (I sincerely hope) defeat of Trump.
(2) Haven't all groups of large waves of immigrants been treated badly? Is this meaningfully different? I know that Eastern & Southern European immigrants were treated very badly and in fact WERE truly banned in the 1920's. See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Act_of_1924 There were instances of violence and long-standing prejudices and discrimination; before AND after the Eastern and Southern Euros the Irish were also highly discriminated against. And some of the heat is being taken off the Mexicans with the anti-muslim movements. The only group that was "relatively" less discriminated against seems to have been the VietNamese in the 1970's. Perhaps a cultural compensation for how badly we treated returning servicemen? I seems that whenever there is a wave from a new group then that group becomes the scapegoat for all ills, at some level.
