xenophobia
Significado: An intense fear of, dislike of, or prejudice against people from other countries, cultures, or backgrounds perceived as foreign or different.
Xenophobia differs from racism in that it is specifically directed at perceived foreignness rather than racial characteristics, though the two frequently overlap. Reports of xenophobic incidents in Britain increased after the Brexit referendum. The term is used in political discourse, journalism, and human rights contexts. Unlike specific ethnic prejudices, xenophobia is a broader hostility towards anyone perceived as an outsider, and can affect white Europeans as readily as people of colour.
