Anthony Crider, CC BY 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=61769434

People have always harassed other people in the United States for being different. 

But the numbers of incidents seemed to climb after Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016. 

Activist Arjun Singh Sethi, himself the target of hate speech and actions, collects stories from people who've been harassed and worse in the book American Hate.  Sethi is the editor and our guest.
