Xenophobia

Xenophobia is an intense dislike and/or fear of people from other countries. It comes from the Greek and it's typically used to describe a fear or dislike of foreigners or of people significantly different from oneself.As with all phobias, a xenophobic person is aware of the fear, and therefore has to genuinely think or believe at some level that the target is in fact a foreigner. This arguably separates xenophobia from racism and ordinary prejudice in that someone of a different race does not necessarily have to be of a different nationality.

People don't need to be afraid...
