The disturbing stories continue in our post-election uptick of incidents of emboldened bigotry, and today there are a pair of them out of Fremont. First, a Milpitas woman who was hiking at Mission Peak in Fremont wearing a headscarf had her car vandalized, purse stolen, and found a note left there assuming her scarf was a hijab, saying "This is our nation now." In fact, she wears the scarf due to hair loss from a battle with lupus, and is not Muslim, and describes her religious beliefs to KRON 4 as "peace and love."

Solonica “Nicki” Pancholy says she'll be hiking to the top of Mission Peak every day for 65 days in a "peace hike" honoring her grandfather, and processing the election, and she'll now be doing it with the hope of ending ignorance too.

CBS 5 has a photo of the offending note Pancholy found at her car, which said, in full:

Hijab wearing bitch
This is our nation now.
GET THE FUCK OUT

While Pancholy says she was upset, obviously, by the incident, she sounds relatively Zen about it. "The division is just…is just breaking my heart,” Pancholy tells CBS 5. And when asked what she thought motivated the vandal, whom the East Bay Regional Parks District say they apprehended, "Fear. I believe they’re being controlled by fear. I believe that fear has consumed them."

The station also notes that Fremont has undergone significant change over the last 30 years, becoming one of the Bay Area's most culturally and racially diverse cities, and is home to many immigrants from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. And it's in formerly more homogenous communities like this that have seen recent waves of immigration, especially in the Midwest, where the xenophobic rhetoric of the Trump campaign resonated the strongest.

Meanwhile also in Fremont, as ABC 7 reports, a Taiwanese Christian church's community center was vandalized with swastikas this week. And that's not all:

Church members say they've been told, 'go home, we don't want you here' when out in public. It's also happening at this Islamic school next door.

"Some of our ladies, because they wear the scarves, have had some negative comments against them," said Sami Hijaz of Saba Academy. "'Go back home.'"

Lest you think this kind of ignorance and atrocious behavior is only happening far outside the liberal Bay Area bubble, this should be a wake-up call. Just on Monday, a Latina nanny was physically attacked by a man near Fort Mason, while she was watching two children, and told "No Latinos Here."
