Racismo e hinofobia

Xenophobia (Greek ξένος, translit. Xenos: "Alien" and φόβος, translit. Phobos "fear." [1]) is the irrational fear of, aversion or the deep antipathy towards foreigners, [2] in mistrust relation to persons outside the midst of the judges or who come from outside your country. Xenophobia can manifest itself in many ways involving the relations and perceptions of ingroup or outgroup relative to ingroup or outgroup, including a fear of losing identity, suspicion about its activities, aggression and desire to eliminate its presence to ensure a presumed purity. [3]

Xenophobia may target not only people from other countries, but other cultures, subcultures or belief systems. Fear of the unknown can be masked in the individual as aversion or hatred, creating prejudices. Note, however, that not all prejudice is caused by xenophobia.

The word xenophobia is commonly associated with aversion to other races and cultures. It is also associated with phobia towards people or different groups, with whom the individual has a phobia usually does not contact or avoids doing so.

Xenophobic attitudes range from preventing immigration of foreigners or people belonging to different cultures and ethnicities, deemed threat to the defense of the extermination of these groups. For this reason xenophobia tends to be normally associated with ethnic prejudices or linked to nationality. Pejorative stereotypes of minority groups (eg, "Asians are dirty", "Muslims are violent", "blacks are less intelligent," "Northern Europeans are superior to southern Europeans," "Anglo-Saxon peoples are superior to Latinos , "etc.). conflicts and beliefs of an individual can lead to hatred.
