Racist Attack

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/milwaukee-man-suffers-acid-burns-his-face-alleged-racist-attack-

A Peruvian Immigrant who currently lives in Milwaukee suffered from a hate crime which included him getting battery thrown on his face and into his eyes.  The report says that he was in an altercation with a white man and the man took out a metal canister of battery acid and threw it on his face. The man and one other witness said that the man said "go back to your country" then proceeded to throw the Acid at his face.  This is a very unsettling story because it goes to show you that racist people are willing to do something terrible to another person just based off of their racist tendencies.  I also believe that this causes fear in many immigrants and even people of color because they actually have to worry about people like this in our country.  This goes to show that racism in our country is not being handled and I feel like the leaders in this country are not helping because they often say or do things that make these people believe that what they are doing is okay.
