^^ This type of bigotry and display of racism is actually not that severe compared to (I hate to use this term but) "hate crimes" that have been commited targeting Muslims/Arabs after 9-11. There was one statistic that said it increased by over 200%. But this stuff obviously isn't going to get much media attention. Plus, I live in Texas. I have to deal with that shit pretty often, some times even daily.
