These low life racist bottom feeders have always been around in this country (including here in little ol' liberal Denver, where I still remember getting called the n-word by a White guy in a truck when I was just minding my own business as a passenger on my school bus)...but there's absolutely no way any sane, observant person can't help but notice that these incidents are increasing in frequency and virulence since Trump began his rise last year.  His words and actions give comfort to racists and we're going to see more of this before it (hopefully) gets better.
