If you cross-posted this article to every last interest group on DU on Trump's 'hate list', how many would there be? 15? 20 cross-posts? When something hits more than 10 target groups, probably just put it in GD.

In this case, I would consider 'religion' collateral damage, or a footnote to the main story. I'd also be willing to bet, not only the kids, but the parents that are likely inciting this behavior, would shrug and not care or be confused if they knew a white guy in their community was Muslim.

I agree, it's hate speech, but it's largely racist/ethnic based.
