Charles Aguda, Colorado student, posted details of incident of racial discrimination on Facebook.
Since Donald Trump's victory in the US elections, social media has erupted with instances of racial abuse, bigotry and sexism, in several cases purportedly linked to Trump supporters.
In one such incident, an amateur video filmed in Michigan middle school showed a group of white students can be heard loudly chanting "Build the wall! Build the wall!" in the lunchroom.
Police had to be called in to calm things down.
In another incident, white students from Southern Illinois University photographed themselves in blackface and posed in front of a Confederate Flag to celebrate Trump's victory. The images led to widespread anger on social media. The students have apologized.
Simone Zavala Nolet, a resident of San Diego, California wrote the following post on her Facebook page: "So one of my student's aunts had to go pick up her daughter from school today because a boy grabbed her vagina. She is 10. When asked why, he said if a president can do it, I can too. Day 1."
At Wellesley College in Massachusetts (where Hillary Clinton studied), a video showed group of boys in a pickup truck with a big Trump flag and loud music driving to a meeting of black students, and spitting at the gathering. They later made a video bragging about being banned from the college.
NDTV spoke to one such purported victim of racial abuse, Charles Aguda Palalay, a student from the town of Colorado Springs, in Colorado, who had posted details of the incident on Facebook. Charles, who is of Hawaiin descent told us, he "was pumping gas into my car earlier this evening. Three white guys passed by me in their big pickup truck. They were yelling and saying to me, "Go back to China you chink!" I'm like I'm not even Chinese."
Pax Hart, Republican activist and Trump supporter told NDTV that "None of these incidents are based on evidence. And those same stories have been recycled by liberals, none of which have evidence once people start investigating."
On Monday morning, Donald Trump told CBS News in an interview that these incidents must 'stop'. In an interview with Lesley Stahl, when asked about the attacks on Latins and Muslims, Trump said "Don't do it, it's terrible because I'm going to bring this country together. Trump looked right into the camera lens and made an appeal to the audience, saying "I am so saddened to hear that (racial attacks), and I say stop it."
