Re: Xenophobia
{... fear and hatred of strangers or foreigners or of anything that is strange or foreign ...}
And no, it is not at all bad.
It is a normal instinct that helps keep animals alive, by making them distrust new foods, unknown entities they meet, etc.
We clearly are under attack, from Mideastern people who want revenge for our past crimes, China who wants to challenge our economic dominance, etc.
And since it is we who forced ourselves first upon them, it is then incumbent upon us to learn more about them and fix the situation.
