Khondoker Usama is a student at Wichita State University. He’s the student body vice president and he’s a Muslim. He and a Hispanic friend were filling up at a Wichita gas station when a man began yelling racial epithets at a black man and then turned his attention to them. From the Wichita Eagle:
“Then suddenly it turned onto us, calling us ‘brown trash, go home. Trump will win,’ ” Usama said.
Then the man approached the students and, according to Usama, said, “You want to live in this country, you better leave.”
Usama and his friend protested, saying this was their country too. The Trump supporter turned violent:
The exchange was heated, Usama said, and he tried to defuse the situation, but his friend got punched and taken to the ground. He said he tried to get between the attacker and his friend but then was pushed himself. He thought he saw the attacker reaching for his pocket and feared he had a weapon, he said, so he backed away and called 911.
“He kept kicking the student who was laying on the ground,” Usama said. “He was kicking him; it was a gut-wrenching scene. He saw that I was calling the police and got back on his motorcycle and circled around us and was saying ‘Trump, Trump, Trump, we will make America great again. You losers will be thrown out of the wall.’
Usama told the Wichita Eagle he was “traumatized” and “humiliated.” Read more of his account here.
