@inthehands I have a muslim high school friend, whose parents moved to the US in the late 70s (to a faculty position at Mississippi State University).
She was really terrified of Trump's rhetoric and election and I rather naively felt that opening up the racism to sunlight would get us to a better place. I still feel that way on a good day. But Trump's SCOTUS nominations and the GOP's fear of the backlash of his bigot base make me feel she may have been right all along.
