Word of the Week: Xenophobia
How it’s used: “When a conservative talk show host introduced Sen. John McCain at an Ohio rally this week and referred to his possible opponent by his full name – “Barrack Hussein Obama” – he highlighted a probable attack strategy, should Obama get the Democratic nomination: American xenophobia.
Where it was found: "The right plays on Americans' fears in Obama attacks"-San Francisco Chronicle; February 28, 2008.
Definition: an unreasonable fear or hatred of foreigners or strangers or of that which is foreign or strange, (noun).
My sentence: My best friend has xenophobia; therefore she won’t travel out of the country, (98 words).
