Those rioting may have been a small percentage of the country’s population, but their activities have emboldened a larger percentage of bigots. These people may not set fire to bins or attack the police, but they are the ones who will use slurs, tell you to go back to your own country, and operate along a grey line where they are treating you badly, but not so badly that you report it.
But I did feel hypervigilant, all the time. From the moment I took the Tube from the airport to my home, I checked everyone who was around me who would pose a threat. Although I tried to give myself a pep talk and tell myself to relax, it’s okay, nothing bad is going to happen, it didn’t work. Although I’ve experienced some measure of alertness immediately post 9/11 and 7/7, when Islamophobia was high, and people assumed that if you were brown-skinned you were Muslim and would make comments, nothing has come close to this relentless feeling that something, somewhere is about to kick off.
