When I first went to University, I came across Muslims for the first time. One girl, in my year, I was actually scared of for a while, but we actually ended up becoming good friends, and I still keep in contact with her from time to time - basically the only person from University that I do.

I don't have any kind of xenophobia.

I talked to a muslim chick outside my University once. There was this strike at the Uni gates because of a raise in credits' cost and students had the whole University closed ans wouldn't let anyone in. The chick was like: "These sons of bitches won't let me in and study after I paid for those clases". And I was like lmao.

There was this Colombian guy there also. I used to talked some with him and asked him about stuff from Colombia and such.

I studied with a guy from Dominican Republic for a couple of years during middle school. No problem there.

A Mexican dude once called my home asking for my dad about some loan he made for some company and I answered, identified his accent and started talking in Mexican accent. I was probably very rude but I didn't give a fuck.

I'm afraid of Xenoblade Chronicles, does that mean I have Xenophobia?

Xenophobia as applied in a populist context is a misnomer, as it is merely bigotry or prejudice. As a psycholgical condition it requires a totally different approach and should be treated no differently to claustrophobia, agoraphobia and arachnophobia.

It's like the difference between gynophobia (fear of women) and misogyny (hatred / prejudice towards women). One is a mental illness (Raj Koothrappali from The Big Bang Theory has/had a form of gynophobia), the other is a despicable and socially harmful attitude.
