The election of Donald Trump has been received with fear in some parts of America and the world.
Here are some heartbreaking tweets from American Muslims and Indians after the Trump victory.

I'm scared that today will be the last day I felt somewhat safe wearing my hijab. https://t.co/C29V7GGOXj

My mom and my sister are actually having the conversation on whether or not they should continue wearing hijab for their own safety

I have never been so scared to be a brown female child of immigrants. America has confirmed that hatred, bigotry, and fear wins.

I'm scared to be an Indian. I'm scared to be a Hindu and a Sikh. I'm scared to have brown skin. I'm scared to BE MYSELF.

Welp if you look like me- you'd better start shaving your beard every day.

A Trump presidency essentially justifies his bigotry towards minorities. I shouldn't have to be afraid for my Indian grandma to go outside.
