Mostly attitude changes. Like if our group of mostly brown people with kids is at a festival, security gaurds or cops would all of sudden hangout next to us. We would just laugh it off and cops are not rude or anything. But I rarely noticed cops hanging out near us when we are in mostly white group.

Another thing, a little worse service especially at upscale suburban resturants. Now brown/desi people are known to be cheap when it comes to tips, so that does have some effect on the service. However, before 2016, we rarely got bad/slow service. But it seems we had more issues at resturants in last 4 years than before. (Btw I always tip decent 20% standard and more depending on the service)

From cool I meant people now openly sterotype minorities especially on Facebook. Both young and old. Like friends complaining that they didn't get a job because company was trying to hire a black woman. And, in fact, I have heard from multiple of my Republican friends that a Black Woman is the most powerful person in the US. (Ofc, I don't believe that)

Here is a more balant racism experience I had. On a date night, we sat next to another couple. The guy was really not happy, he started talking just loud enough for us to hear that Trump will round up all Muslims and immigrants and ship them out. Then he started singing that his cousin is Navy Seal and he likes to kill Iraqis, Afghanis, and all the dities. His date kept telling him to shut up. He asked waitress to change tables, I think.

We tried our best to ignore and have a good evening. This is the only incident in last 4 years but never experienced anything like this before especially in upscale restaurants.

That must leave a nasty taste in the mouth. I know from my own experience that it's harder to laugh off these kind of things if you feel they're more pervasive in society than just one idiot. Of course, it's hard to draw good conclusions from anecdotes but they're still evidence of prejudice that too many are too quick to dismiss.

> I rarely noticed cops hanging out near us when we are in mostly white group.

I heard something similar from a mixed race footballer in the UK (where I'm from). Again, it's difficult to draw conclusions but these things add up. Part of the problem is how to measure or validate things like this in such a way that they become persuasive to change.

For what it's worth I hope it doesn't happen again, or the good far outweighs the bad (which may be all we can hope for in life!)
