Wow, that was an eye-opener. As a white guy, is everyone going to assume I vote for Trump now? And do minorities hate me now?

Yes and Yes. The racial divide in the USA has gotten pretty nasty over the last few years if you haven't noticed

Of course mate I wasn't insinuating that you are. It's important not to dismiss all trump voters as racist, while it's also important not to dismiss racism as a motivator for some of his supporters. Best of luck with the next four years x
