36. Wrong again! "xenophobia ... includes racism & religious bigotry" - huh???
What did you wake up and smoke today?

A White Anglo Saxon Protestant American can be xenophobic against a Protestant British immigrant. Xenophobia does not "include" racism or religious bigotry. Xenophobia is ... well, xenophobia -- fear of foreigners. Some foreigners are brown or Muslim, but xenophobia is fear of foreigners, not fear of brown people or Muslims.

Now put the pipe down and step away from the keyboard, head to your bookshelf and take down the Websters, NOW!
