Xenophobia
(redirected from xenophobe)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.
Xenophobia
Hatred of foreigners. Xenophobia can cause trouble in business; one may, for example, refuse to hire a foreigner who may be better qualified for a position than a native candidate. In many jurisdictions, xenophobic business practices may violate anti-discrimination law. Xenophobia in business should be distinguished from refusing to hire foreigners who are not legally authorized to work.
