Xenophobia
Xenophobia describes a fear and hatred of those who are perceived to be foreign, strange, or dangerous, that is often reflected in anti-immigration rhetoric. - Asian American Activism: The Continuing Struggle [1]
Xenophobia differs from racism, which has a broader meaning set that includes believing that racial differences produce superiority for some and inferiority for others. Although they are similar, it is possible to be both xenophobic and racist.
