Xenophobia (ZEN-uh-FOH-bee-uh) — from the Greek — is fear or hatred of strangers or foreigners.
Example (as used in a Rolling Stone review of the movie District 9): “Raised in Johannesburg … [writer-director Neill] Blomkamp dreamed of combining his interest in sci-fi with the tormented world of racism and xenophobia he grew up in.”
