WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 (UPI) -- Incidents of racial hate and other forms of discrimination since the election now top 700 in an anecdotal survey being conducted by he Southern Poverty Law Center, though the frequency of reports has declined significantly since the immediate aftermath of Donald Trump's election.
In total, the SPLC reports 701 incidents were reported through the "Report Hate" page on its website since the Nov. 8 election. Sixty-five percent of the incidents -- some of which were verified by law enforcement or media reports and some of which remain anecdotal accounts -- took place in the three days following the election. By the middle of this week, the group said only a handful of incidents were being reported per day.
