tip some people use the terms "xenophobia" and "racism" interchangeably although they mean two different things. xenophobia is fear of people from other countries, being a phobia there is little control over it as opposed to racism

Salma I agree there are very different concepts even though their root maybe the same... a misunderstandign of oneself and others.

People have a mix of both though and sometimes they may not realize it. Sometimes race and class mix together too.

What I always find saddenign is that people dont realize that they are actively being racists, classists or Xenophobes.

I wonder what we could do to counter some of this behaviour?
