As a kiwi that left for the US, things are getting a bit strange in New Zealand. So many folks are becoming openly racist vs. what I see in the states. Granted, I don't live in the south, but still... I was shocked when I went back to visit at the rhetoric being used.

NZ has always had a racist underbelly, they have become more emboldened since trump 1.... with trump 2 I fear it will get worse.
