"In the streets and stores, strangers have hurled insults at Haitians. The tires on their cars have been slashed overnight. Some shoppers have meowed at Haitians in supermarket aisles, according to Haitians, community leaders and immigrant advocates."

Many Haitians Prospered in Springfield, Ohio. Then Came the Hate.

A young family came to love the city where they rebuilt their lives and bought a home. Since a false rumor spread, they have scrapped outings, even to the park.

Great reporting in this story. Maggie, I’ve heard a lot that the reporters don’t get to write the headlines. Why does NYT adopt the passive voice? “Then Came the Hate.” Who brought the hate??? It’s a mystery apparently.

Republicans did that on purpose because they are racists. To them trump means they can finally speak their minds.

perhaps let your colleagues reporting on Trump know that their euphemistic characterizations are harming people. Seriously. Bland observation about despicable speech causes damage
