to the editor: the other day a loyal worker on our property, who happens to be mexican, got into his car at the end of the day to find that dog feces had been put in the cab of his truck, on the driver<u+2019>s side. when his boss told me, i was appalled. he explained that there has been an uptick in events such as these, as well as verbal abuse. he shook his head, perplexed as to why. i suggested that racists now have a champion in donald trump and feel free to express their true feelings. it<u+2019>s trickle-down racism. this happened on my watch in my lovely, bucolic town in the hills of the santa cruz mountains. we live in silicon valley. i guess donald trump<u+2019>s america is now everywhere. i am disgusted, sad and scared for the future of this country. this is a small story, but the incident is symbolic of something enormously dark and ominous. please keep up with your outstanding journalism and never buckle. we have nothing if not a free press. sarah dorahy portola valley, calif. a version of this letter appears in print on november 28, 2016, on page a20 of the new york edition with the headline: trickle-down racism. today's paper | subscribe
