It is very easy to be manipulated about subjects one isn't familiar with.
There are issues that I know reporting on them has gone up, but the number of incidents were going down.

I can tell you during the

My theory is that things are happening despite the megaphone of hate being taken away, and even if this person inciting xenophobia never existed there would still be some of this.
