Racists come in all shapes, sizes and ethnic groups.

Not sure about this, but I've got a feeling that it started out personal for this woman. Like her husband or boyfriend left her for an Indian woman. It's just odd to have such pathological hatred of a particular ethnic group such that you have so little self-control in public. Most committed racist types keep their shit together most of the time, and when they attack, they attack in groups, because they're cowards.

She probably has depression issues, which explains the anger, and also issues with self-control and aggression.
Why does she have those issues? What did being left for another trigger? What were those other women symbolize to her? Don't you think she was hoping to inflict on others some pain she herself was feeling. What do you think that pain might be. What was she feeling and why?

Sadly as I've mentioned before SOME racism is "baked in" to every single American and the older you are the bigger subconscious dose you've gotten over the years. (including myself)

Rather than dealing with this fact most white folks tend to try to sweep it under the rug because it makes them "uncomfortable".

Agreed. I love how Spike Lee wrote Sal in Do the Right Thing to have this trait, even though he loved black people who had been his life blood for decades at his pizzaria yet he could still have that ugly part of him that doesn't define him but it's still there explode at once. Definitely saw some of myself in him.

Based on the way the crazy lady was stumbling around and struggling to walk a straight line I'd hazard a guess she had been drinking too. (not exactly a revelation I know)

As time went on, Trump supporters began flying both the Confederate flag and the Nazi Swastika.

It was not just about skin color. Trump supporters wanted to install a totalitarian government which they would control.
