What is it: Xenophobia

Xenophobia, initially, is fear of the unknown. The word comes from the Greek “xénos”, which means foreigner, and “phobos”, which means fear. __________ Fear can give rise to a form of prejudice against different people or groups. This is because, when we don't know something or someone seems very different to us, we tend to be afraid. If we are afraid, we tend to withdraw and end up knowing even less about it. It is common that prejudices are born from this distancing and even lead us to believe in false things that are said by other groups, different from ours. The result of this could be xenophobia.
