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.
Which warps perception.

Good question, it's very hard to tell, much of the truth of the matter takes time to retrospectively analyze.

I can tell you during the Iran hostage crisis I was almost assaulted , and after 9/11 got so many dirty looks that I shaved my beard. I look just enough like I could be from almost anywhere that the hate was felt and violence against me was a possibility.

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.
