Who elected this asshole to office in the first place?

Racist slurs relating to the Scottish first minister's Pakistani heritage
were sprayed on the walls and fences of homes in a street in Broughty
Ferry, on Monday.

It is near to where the first minister lives with his wife and two
children.

The graffiti, which has since been removed, happened on the day the
Scottish government's controversial new hate crime laws came into force.

Mr Yousaf, who became Scotland's first Muslim and ethnic minority first minister last March, posted on X: "I do my best to shield my children from
the racism and Islamophobia I face on a regular basis. That becomes increasingly difficult when racist graffiti targeting me appears near our family home.

"A reminder of why we must, collectively, take a zero-tolerance approach
to hatred."

It is not the first time Mr Yousaf has responded to Islamophobia targeted
at his family.

Mr Yousaf, whose in-laws were trapped in Gaza for about a month before
fleeing through Egypt, said in January that Muslim and Palestinian lives
were viewed as "cheap" and "different".

Last month, he also condemned "Islamophobic attacks" on his family as he
denied claims a government donation to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNWRA) was a conflict of interest.

Police Scotland is investigating the graffiti and said "inquiries are
ongoing".

The SNP said: "This graffiti was sickening and completely unacceptable. It
is a reminder why we need to take a zero-tolerance approach to hatred.

"We are grateful to the authorities for acting to remove it so quickly
because this type of vile, racist language can have a serious impact on
the individuals, families, and wider community who are forced to see it.

"Racism has absolutely no place in our society and everyone must play
their part to challenge it."
