Fears of heightened bigotry and hate crimes have turned into reality for some Americans after Donald Trump's presidential win.

Racist, pro-Trump graffiti painted inside a high school. A hijab-wearing college student robbed by men talking about Trump and Muslims, reports CNN.


While Trump has been accused of fostering xenophobia and Islamophobia, some of his supporters have used his words as justification to carry out hateful acts.


Here's what some Americans are dealing with across the country.

At the New York University Tandon School of Engineering, students discovered the name of the President-elect written on the door to a prayer room for Muslims on Wednesday, school officials said.


"Our campus is not immune to the bigotry that grips America," the NYU Muslim Students Association said in a Facebook posting.


School spokesman Kathleen Hamilton said the school has a lot of immigrant students, with about 20% from abroad.


"It's a real melting pot here," she said. "We all believe this very much, that the university is a place of free expression. It has to be safe to be so."


The NYPD is investigating. There were no cameras, and the school isn't sure whether a student is responsible, Hamilton said. She noted that all NYU buildings require a badge for access.


Student Moses Karngbaye said he was terrified to see racist graffiti sprawled inside a bathroom in his Minnesota high school.


"#Go back to Africa" and "Make America great again," someone wrote on a toilet paper dispenser at Maple Grove Senior High School.


"That's the first time I honestly felt like crying at school," Karngbaye told CNN affiliate WCCO.


The bathroom door was also covered with graffiti, including "Whites only," "White America" and "Trump."
