Here are five things Republicans are accused of being, and they are:

1. Xenophobic

2. Racists

3. Elitists

4. Homophobic

5. Religiously Crazies

If you would take a look at the history of any other country other than America, it is very possible that those countries have had and still do contain a great deal of variant xenophobia. I will use the nation of Japan as a beginning example. The Japanese nation prior to contact with Europeans was a very xenophobic nation. From the middle part of the 17th century to the middle part of the 19th century, there was a Japanese policy which excluded almost all foreigners known as sakoku. The policy of the definition meant that no foreigners could enter or leave the nation of Japan without the penalty of death. With a policy like that, it left the Japanese Island isolated from the rest of the world. Even without any European influence, the Japanese nation was still in a feudal state with very little technological change or exchange of ideas.

The next nation I will examine is the nation of Thailand. The people of the Caucasian "race" are referred to by the local non - Caucasian population as "farang" which is possibly a dehumanizing word equivalent to the words known as "nigger" or "chink" in English. But, like in America, names which demean any group of people is frowned upon and can even include terrible repercussions. Yet, there are no laws in Thailand which prevent the local people from using a demeaning word. Thailand's understanding of what xenophobia is may be over-involved by the strictness of a hierarchical culture which obstructs important societal educations for national favoritism.

The nation of Mexico has xenophobia too. You can see it when Whites enter that nation on vacation visits. Any White speaking English, particularly from America, should know some Spanish, because in some places, the hate of the American White "gringo" is enormously high. You do not find many American gringos there like you find many Mexicans in America who dislike the nation of America, its laws, and culture, but loves the "gringo" dollar.
