I am afraid those Indian Americans will be sorely disappointed in the years to come.

just because you don't like shrilery doesn't make you a trump supporter. pointing out the double standards of libbies and media doesn't make one an automatic trump supporter. we just don't think that the sky is going to fall and there will be wild mobs hunting indian and other non-white people as the libbies tell us in so many words.

They don't have to hunt us. Subtle taunts in public spaces, everyday threats, bullying in schools -- these are sufficiently bad for some of us. Many traded not having to deal with that with the real or perceived corruptness of Clinton. You made a different choice (or maybe none at all). You got your way and the genie is out of the bottle. We all have to live with its consequences. We weren't before, but we are now, in the same boat.

those things were happening before too. even in obama time and clinton time. and will happen even if shrillery is the president.

An abuser, a bully will be your next President.
