Question

xenophobe A Middle Easterner reading the U.S.'s visa restrictions might feel that the State Department was run by xenophobes. xenophobe*

Accepted Answer

One who has a fear or hatred of strangers or foreigners. Xenophobe is partly based on the Greek noun xenos, meaning “stranger, guest, foreigner.” Unlike other phobias, xenophobia isn't really considered an abnormal condition; instead, it's generally thought of as just serious narrow-mindedness, the kind of thinking that goes along with racism and extreme patriotism. In times of war, a government will often actually try to turn all its citizens into xenophobes.
