Comments

Heavy bias towards globalism. "The *insert BS organisation here* strongly urges governments to persecute any individual expressing a sense of national pride or identity"

Who the F wrote this article? Isn't wikipedia meant to represent a neutral viewpoint?

I have no idea what you are talking about. I cannot find *insert BS organisation here* or "strongly urges governments" in this article. Please explain more clearly how you would like to change this article. Lova Falk talk 10:54, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Clarity

It is unclear in this article whether the subject refers to a pseudo-medical condition involving fear for foreigners, or a political belief that is opposed to immigration. It should be made clear that anti-immigration policy or perspective is not necessarily xenophobic, nor are all xenophobes necessarily opposed to immigration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.109.188.192 (talk) 21:30, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Where do you get "pseudo-medical" from? Not every term ending in -phobia refers to a medical condition (witness homophobia and transphobia). As far as this is a psychological issue, it is one of social psychology. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 00:53, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

It is now, under the shadow of mass immigration, ideologically charged word. I see lots of wiki-fights. Already entry, consisting words "unreasonable" and "irrational", is removed. Can the meaning of the word be so dynamic, and change in the very short time-span, regarding the prevalent political situation?

Totally undeveloped article

This article is not even 1/2 done.--Inayity (talk) 11:52, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Now I see why the article is a skeleton, because when you start to research and add content everything is deleted. --Inayity (talk) 12:22, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Simply noting a newspaper article that happens to concern xenophobia in itself adds nothing to the explication of the subject of the article. Mutt Lunker (talk) 13:20, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Listing recent examples of something is of little value on Misplaced Pages, because in a few weeks or months the example will no longer be recent. Unless there is some other reason to pay attention to this particular example, there is no reason to include it over the vast number of other examples in all of recorded history. Encyclopedia articles should be written to last over a span of years, not weeks. If you want to list examples, list the best examples, not the ones that happen to be most recent at the time you are writing.--Srleffler (talk) 05:26, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Fear of Aliens

Hey, what about xenophobia as a fear of aliens/extraterrestrials? (Xeno refers to alien) Why is there no mention of that? Why is it all about racism and shit. Aurora sword (talk) 22:16, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Do you have reliable sources to support your argument that xenophobia is the fear of extraterrestrials? I think 'alien' in this case refers to a stranger, like "illegal alien." MediaKill13 (talk) 05:02, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

The "fear of aliens" part of it is referred as "fear of people not of residence in your country" a·li·en ˈālēən/Submit noun plural noun: aliens a foreigner, especially one who is not a naturalized citizen of the country where they are living. "an illegal alien" synonyms: foreigner, nonnative, immigrant, emigrant, émigré "an illegal alien" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Juliet1985 (talk • contribs) 04:24, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
