I ran across something which might have me moving out of the U.S. This applies to all of us who married foreigners that don't look like typical whites.
We have had Nazi's who live here in AZ kill for no other reason than their victims are a different race or gay.

*White nationalist accounts are getting a huge influx of followers. 9/1/2016 Reuters*

(Reuters) – White nationalists and self-identified Nazi sympathizers located mostly in the United States use Twitter with
“relative impunity” and often have far more followers than militant Islamists, a study being released on Thursday found.

Eighteen prominent white nationalist accounts examined in the study, including the American Nazi Party, have seen a sharp
increase in Twitter followers to a total of more than 25,000, up from about 3,500 in 2012, according to the study by
George Washington University’s Program on Extremism that was seen by Reuters.

The study’s findings contrast with declining influence on Twitter’s service for Islamic State, also known as ISIS, amid crackdowns
that have targeted the militant group, according to earlier research by report author J.M. Berger and the findings of other
counter-extremism experts and government officials.

“White nationalists and Nazis outperformed ISIS in average friend and follower counts by a substantial margin,” the report said.
“Nazis had a median follower count almost eight times greater than ISIS supporters, and a mean count more than 22 times greater.”
