Xenophobia, from the Greek ξÎÎ½Î¿Ï (xénos, foreign) + ÏÏÎ²Î¿Ï (phobos, fear). A fear of that which is inherently other. Xenophobia is inherent in human history and human nature to some degree.[1] Understandable examples of xenophobia are evident in common American culture, such as the fear of the influx of Mexican culture in the border states.
