There is no such “uptick” in racially motivated attacks. There is a tremendous “uptick” in false reporting of such things and of overtly silly acts that always prove to be committed by the supposed victims. I can’t think of any swastikatings or slurs painted on doors or anything else in that category that didn’t turn out to be the “victims” trying to illustrate a “truth” because the damned designated bigots just won’t do that stuff like they should.
You’re both dead on the mark about no “uptick” in racist attacks.
