Voter number one is an Indian American born here in America but both parents are from Gujarat, India. So for all intent and purposes, this guy is very Americanize. He was a coworker and we are facebook friends. During the campaign and election, he was a vocal Trump supporter. I would often engage in a friendly courteous debate with him about Trump vs Hillary. I congratulated him when Trump won the electoral colleges but soon after I just unfollowed him in Facebook. No point in trying to convince him and I did not care to see his pro Trump posts any longer. So I do not know now what his stand on Trump having seen the last 2-3 months. A lot of the white racist Trump's supporters are so emboldened by Trump's win and are showing blatantly their racist disregard to non white people. So I wonder if my Indian friend in Florida has encountered any racism against him from his fellow Trump supporters who are white. As far as those racist Trumpsters are concern, my Indian friend is the same as a Pakistani terrorist. That would be sad but my friend did this to himself.
Voter number two is a temp coworker from Egypt who I found out supported Trump. He looks Arab but is not a Muslim. He is in fact a coptic christian. But as I mentioned earlier, those racist Trumpsters would assume he is Muslim just base on his appearance. I also wonder if he has encountered any racism from them. I may not know his well, but it would still be unfortunate if he did. Again, he did this to himself.
