According to the Southern Poverty Law Center<\/a>, the US saw a spike of hate incidents after the election of Donald Trump on November 8th. 867\u00a0real-world (i.e., not internet-based) incidents were reported to the Center or covered in the media in just 10 days. USA Today<\/em> reports<\/a> that the the Council on American-Islamic relations also saw an uptick in reports and that the sudden rise is greater than even what the country saw after the 9\/11 attacks. This is, then, likely just a slice of what is happening.<\/p>\n

The Center doesn’t present data for the days coming up to the election, but offers the following visual as an illustration of what happened the ten days after the 8th.<\/p>\n

If the\u00a0numbers of reports prior to the 8th were, in fact, significantly lower than these, than there was either a rise in incidents after Trump’s victory and Clinton’s loss, or an increase in the tendency to report incidents. Most perpetrators of these attacks targeted African Americans and perceived immigrants.<\/p>\n

The most common place for these incidents to occur, after\u00a0sidewalks and streets, was K-12 schools. Rosalind Wiseman, anti-bullying editor and author of Queen Bees and Wannabes<\/a>, and sociologist CJ Pascoe, author of Dude, You’re a Fag<\/a>, both<\/a> argue<\/a> that incidents at schools often reflect adult choices. Poor\u00a0role models — adults themselves who bully or who fail to stand up for the bullied — make it hard for young people to have the moral insight and strength to do the right thing themselves.<\/p>\nLisa Wade, PhD<\/a> is an Associate Professor at Tulane University.
