Ahhhh, very good. Didnt take long for this to come up, did it?
Do you like that word cuz it has an X at the beginning, or its got more syllables than "racist"?
		
		
	 
----------------------------------------------------
xenophobia:  fear and hatred of strangers or foreigners or of anything that is strange or foreign 
racism:  a belief that 
race is the primary 
determinant of human traits and capacities and that 
racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 
----------------------------------------------------
I don't equate the two. Xenophobia is based on fear. 
Fear that foreigners will come and take one's job, 
fear that they will drive down wages, 
fear of becoming a minority, 
fear that one's taxes will be taken to pay for their healthcare...
