I wonder how many of these people protesting realize that many businesses along both the Canadian and Mexican borders take the respective foreign currencies?

I wonder how many of these people have ever gone to a foreign country, and wanted to use their American dollars? Of course, many places in foreign countries have no problem whatsoever accepting our money.

Stories like this make me sick to my stomach. It's truly sad to see the rampant xenophobia being expressed today.

3. Or Glen Beck

And I'm sure that Hannity has been screaming about this on his pedantic radio program. These people are so hypocritical it makes me ill. They have no problem going into other countries, and wanting people to speak English, take American currency, etc. But god forbid we try to accomodate the millions of foreigners in this country.

5. xenophobia

The American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition ("DSM-IV") includes in its description of a phobia an "intense anxiety" which follows exposure to the "object of the phobia, either in real life or via imagination or video..." For xenophobia there are two main objects of the phobia. The first is a population group present within a society, which is not considered part of that society. Often they are recent immigrants, but xenophobia may be directed against a group which has been present for centuries. This form of xenophobia can elicit or facilitate hostile and violent reactions, such as mass expulsion of immigrants, or in the worst case, genocide.

The second form of xenophobia is primarily cultural, and the objects of the phobia are cultural elements which are considered alien. All cultures are subject to external influences, but cultural xenophobia is often narrowly directed, for instance at foreign loan words in a national language. It rarely leads to aggression against persons, but can result in political campaigns for cultural or linguistic purification. Isolationism, a general aversion of foreign affairs, is not accurately described as xenophobia. Additionally, in the world of science fiction, xenophobia usually refers to a fear or hatred of extraterrestrial cultures or beings.

Why aren't the Xenos upset about that?
