Two Fitchburg families were the targets of racist hate mail this week. Becky Ketarkus posted a photograph of a handwritten letter on Facebook Tuesday. Ketarkus’ neighbor, who she identifies as “an adult adoptee from India,” found the letter in her mailbox. The letter included several racial slurs and pointed to Donald Trump’s victory as the catalyst for racial unrest.

“Trump won. Go home. Race wars are on!,” the anonymous writer boasted.

The letter also directly referenced the Ketarkus family, which includes eleven adopted children from the United States, Ghana and China. Becky Ketarkus could not be reached for comment. Via her Facebook page today, Ketarkus said that she does not plan to speak to the media any further and urged people who are upset about the letter to engage with Madison’s leaders of color and LGBTQ activists.

“I am white. I am an ally. Community action shouldn't be happening for me. I walked out into the world safely this morning,” Ketarkus said.
