With greatest respect: no, we didn't.

I was in Savannah, GA at the time. I was halfway down the seaboard from New York.

The entire town lost its mind for months. If you were brown it was worse.

And then came the anthrax attack. https://twitter.com/paulkrugman/status/1304385740063805440
I had a friend of mine who was Jewish, and of a darker skin tone.

She was *tormented* with anti-Muslim shit. People yelling out of truck windows. Fuckers giving her the stink eye in the convenience store. And her job was hell.

And once again, she was fucking *Jewish.*
I have great respect for @paulkrugman, and I say this with a sincere hope he takes it to heart:

There absolutely was a mass outbreak of anti-muslim hysteria, there was violence, there was vandalism, and to say otherwise is very, very stupid.
