I was born in the early 70's to parents that came from India in the mid 60's, I was born in a time where we saw our mother chased into our house by skinhead thug as she was on her way too work. We were spat on at the park, even had a air rifle fired at me. Never responded to the abuse, words and physical, never as I was scared what would happen if I did.
I was the only Asian child in my year at school, and was bullied, spat on and called every offensive name under the sun. The teachers at the time turned a blind eye and I had even heard our head of year laugh at it.
When I went to play at a friends one of my memories is her neighbours lad chasing me around cars pulling my hair and kicking me.
Late 80's it all calms down.......
My husband is white English, not that, that matters, but it did to his mother who sadly still had the archaic ideas about not mixing races, even though she is blessed with 4 gorgeous grandchildren.
Now it's all back and with a vengeance, devastated my friend of 15 years shared race hate posts, seeing posts all over twitter about the race hate towards all races.
To say I can't cope is an understatement, I was born here but have had it made clear to me I don't belong most of my life.
We have paid or way own our own home and are just a regular family, But now my husband is beside himself with worry over his job, it's a French company and trying to deal with me fretting.
Please don't tell me my fears and worries aren't real as I can see they are, what do I do? how do I cope, we just want our quite life back and not that I am a second class citizen or not wanted, I have no other country to call home.
Sorry used an alias, been losing my mind over all this, even in my hobby circle the posts are so abhorrently upsetting, people sharing memes with racist comments. I'm just not strong enough to cope.
AIBU?
Aibu? Sorry it's deep and regarding the vote to leave

I'm so sorry you're experiencing this.
Unfortunately for a minority of people the leave result seems to have unleashed a degree of public racism.
Obviously it is wrong and unacceptable. All I can suggest to you is to try to minimise your exposure to it by blocking offensive people on facebook etc and try to keep in mind that the majority of people are not like that.
I do think things will largely settle down once the dust has settled but I can understand how upset you feel by all this.
My son has a mixed heritage marriage, and I have spent a lot of time talking with his wife this weekend, who feels much as you do at the moment. 
We are in solidarity with you, OP

I'm sorry OP, it's really shit. Unfortunately the stupid/nasty/racist people are the loudest. We all need to be shouting back- racism is NOT ok and we don't all feel the same way. I'd be much happier sharing this island with a wonderfully diverse population than a few xenophobic twats.
If you feel strong, call them out on it if they are supposed to be your friends. Or just delete and block. Sadly you can't delete and block people from your life, only from your social media accounts.
from me to you x
Loud and unpleasant minorities do not represent us all.This is your home and I am so sorry that people are making you feel uncomfortable. Just enjoy your lovely family.
Oh op another controversial thread
It's not a controversial thread. It's someone describing their experiences and their very real worries. If you can't manage compassion could you just attempt to be less rabid?
Op, I'm sorry you are experiencing this.
I'm so so sorry you are feeling like this
Unfortunelty i don't think you're the only one and I feel deeply ashamed that 52% of people who voted, voted to leave, I'm white British but don't want to live in a country where the majority think like small minded little englanders. I'm not sure where we will all go though.
