Is that like racism?
Not exactly. It’s dislike of people from other countries.
Oh, ok. Why would you not like someone from another country? Is that like the people who are mad at the illegal aliens from Mexico coming to the USA, is that xenophobia? Because that really upsets me.
I would say that that is an example of xenophobia, yes.
It’s a greek word.
Xenos is the stranger in greek.
And phobia, well you all know what it means
The fear of strangers?
Yes, but it has the meaning
of fear of people from other countries.
But surely, better to be a xenophobe than a xenophiliac.
Fear of Xeno’s.
Here the word is used for people who don’t like migrants.
It is NOT better to be a xenophobe than a xenophiliac. A xenophiliac is a lover of people from other countries and cultures. @seksoempirico
Yeah, that’s what I was going to say.
So like, if you’re American and you hate Italians, that’s xenophobic.
I was only kidding.
Fear of travelling an infinite number of half distances to get anywhere.
That would be awful. I’m glad I was raised in a diverse area and don’t dislike anyone.
