After a tumultuous race for the presidency, Trump has come out on top only to find a nation immensely divided.

Election Day 2016 brought 130 million (about 57%) of eligible American voters to the polls, according to Business Insider. CNN reported that the voter turnout this year was the lowest since 1996. Of those 130 million, 88% of African-American voters and 65% of Hispanic voters supported Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, while Republican candidate Donald Trump had the support of 58% of white voters. Many Americans who were very passionate about this election took the result of the race to heart, as seen through recent protests and violence.

Dilshad Ali, a Muslim American, is one of these citizens. Ali is a mother of three and resides in Virginia. She told CNN that she had never felt fear about her religion in America, even when Trump proposed a ban on Muslims coming into the United States. However, now that Trump is the president-elect, Ali is more scared than ever.

“I woke up today and I finally felt it. It felt personal, like the election was a vote against me,” said Ali the morning after the results were in.

Sahar Aziz, a professor at Texas A&M Law School, said in reaction to the president-elect that “some Muslims worry their children may experience bullying at school because Trump’s victory validated the mainstreaming of Islamophobia. Some women are afraid to wear their headscarves in public in case this invites physical or verbal assault.”

Unfortunately, the violence they feared became a reality just ten hours after Trump’s victory speech. According to NBC News, a Muslim student at San Jose University was attacked by two men who grabbed her hijab and choked her. According to the University of Michigan, a student was approached by a man who threatened her with a lighter, demanding the student to remove her hijab or he would set her on fire.

However, Muslim-Americans are not the only ones being targeted post-election. African-Americans are also experiencing hate. According to CNN, graffiti was found on a wall in Durham, North Carolina, stating, “Black lives don’t matter and neither does your votes.” Swastikas and Nazi references were also found spray-painted on windows and cars in Philadelphia the day after the election, according to CNN. One Nazi reference included ‘Trump’ with a Swastika replacing the T.

Trump is well-known for his plan to build a wall on the border between the U.S. and Mexico, despite backlash. The result of the election has escalated tension towards Hispanic-Americans, especially in schools. One student from Redding, California posted a video of himself handing out fake deportation letters to Hispanic kids at his school, according to the Independent.

Darel Ross, an advocate for the African-American community in Michigan, told ABC News, “I have Latino friends whose kids are waking up asking if they are going to be deported, Muslim friends who are scared to go to the Mosque, how do you answer these questions?”

Omer Cuevas, a member of Michigan’s Hispanic community, also spoke to ABC News, saying, “Mr. Trump has made bigotry and racism cool, he’s made it something mainstream that maybe before was in the closet about the way people feel about other groups, he’s made it ok to show your hatred for other races.”

Cuevas, Ross, and Ali can agree that violence and hate towards minorities in America is on the rise as a result of the nation’s soon-to-be president and believe something needs to be done in order for America to remain a place where all men are supposedly created equal.
