xenophobia: fear and contempt of strangers or foreigners or of anything designated as foreign, or a conviction that certain foreign individuals and cultures represent a threat to the authentic identity of one’s own nation-state and cannot integrate into the local society peacefully. The term xenophobia derives from the ancient Greek words xenos (meaning “stranger”) and phobos (meaning “fear”). Xenophobia implies the perception that not only is it impossible for certain people designated as foreign to integrate into one’s own society but also that they pose a threat to the integrity of that society.
We are awash in that bullshit and it’s simply bizarre in a country that was settled and populated by immigrants over two centuries. The only people who have a right to say this are Native Americans and these so-called “patriots” hate them too!
I can’t wrap my mind around how dumb this is.
By the way, Nick Sorter is that guy in Portland who grabbed the protester’s burning flag and became a MAGA cause celebre with Kristi Noem stepping in to say they would prosecute the protester.
