Growing racism and homophobia online from both Australia and America

Hi all. I’m getting really disturbed by what I’m reading online. I’ve found some extremely disturbing growing rhetoric in some online communities about a growing hostility to Indian and Asian immigrants and a return to ‘white Australia policy’ as they call it. Also lots of weird posts against Jewish people. I thought ok that’s probably just some extreme people online. But then I saw a beautiful video on Facebook about a stay at home gay dad and his day in the life of being a gay dad. You could see he really loved his kids and was such a good dad. There were so many comments writing ‘die poof and all poofs go to hell’ etc. I had a look at the accounts and they were real and mostly American. So seems an issue in both Australia and America. Are people just more likely to express their extreme views behind screens or are we really going fully backwards in terms of human rights? Is Trump getting in somehow linked to these views being seen more often online? By the way this was just a small example of what I’ve seen online lately there’s many more.
