They've just picked a different minority for the witch-hunt this time. It's too soon to go after autistics again. Chechnyan Muslims, as I understand, are the devil du jour. Look for anti-Muslim sentiment to climb within hours.
Get this through your heads: The acceptable standard is: White (at least on the inside, since we've come to realize that people just can't help their pigmentation), Christian (but not too Christian, and only at approved times and in approved places), heterosexual (but not homophobic), fourth- to seventh- generation European-American, two children (or planning on it), earning between $55,000 and $120,000 a year (or striving to appear to be living that lifestyle and/or going to school to get there), left-leaning (but not too far left-- a left-handed manner that leans to the right). Invested in the Dow, buys food at the grocery store, takes the car to the mechanic and the kids to daycare. Upwardly mobile.
This is the correct and valued standard. Anything else can and will be the victim of a witch hunt.
And how the heck is the public gonna be able to tell the difference between a Chechnyan Muslim and a regular person? People could be going after Jewish people or light skinned Hispanics without even knowing it. Back in December and Indian man was murdered by a crazy lady who thought Hindus were involved in 9/11.
And hate crimes have already been happening against Muslims before the police revealed the pics of the suspects:

You know alot of people say that humanity is questioned when a major tragedy occurs. You can't judge humanity based on the severity of a tragedy comitted by one or two persons. You based humanity on the way people respond to it afterward and after the attacks on Autistics after Newtown, that was when I began to question humanity. Stories like this aren't helping the situation.
