Racist Letters Response
(Lincoln City, OR) -- Oregon's Attorney General and local lawmakers are responding to racist letters distributed in Lincoln County. The letters suggest the recipient track the movements of people of color, especially if they appear to be in the country illegally. Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum issued a statement saying attempts to intimidate communities and their leaders through racist letter-writing campaigns have no place in Oregon. State Representative David Gomberg says coastal communities are built on the values of respect, inclusion and unity. He says racial profiling, harassment and intolerance have no place in the county. FBI officials say anyone who feels physically threatened should contact local law enforcement.
