What is Xenophobia?

The Britannica site, states that xenophobia is a feeling of fear and an attitude of contempt towards foreigners who are considered foreigners.

Xenophobia is also described as a person’s belief that foreign individuals or cultures are a threat to their national identity, so that foreigners will not be able to unite with local society peacefully.

Xenophobia comes from Ancient Greek, consisting of xenos which means stranger and phobos which means fear. So it is concluded that foreigners threaten the unity of the community.

The characteristics of xenophobia can take various forms, from discrimination, violence against religion, ethnic groups, racism, hate speech to genocide.

The oldest and most well-known form of xenophobia is anti-Semitism which places the Jewish people as a religious and ethnic group as the target of systematic genocide at the hands of the Nazi government.
