Answer 1

Answer:

Xenophobia is the excessive fear, dislike, and even hostility toward of anything “foreign” or to anything and anybody from outside one's own social group, nation, or country (Hjerm, 1998, 2009; McEvoy, 1995; Orenstein, 1985).

Examples of xenophobia in the United States include acts of discrimination and violence against Latinx, Mexican, and Middle Eastern immigrants. Certainly, not everyone who is xenophobic starts wars or performs hate crimes. But even veiled xenophobia can have insidious effects on both individuals and society.
