Xenophobia is the uncontrollable fear of foreigners. [1] It comes from the Greek words ξένος (xenos), meaning "stranger," "foreigner" and φόβος (phobos), meaning "fear." Xenophobia can manifest itself in many ways involving the relations and perceptions of an ingroup towards an outgroup, including a fear of losing identity, suspicion of its activities, aggression, and desire to eliminate its presence to secure a presumed purity.[2] Xenophobia can also be exhibited in the form of an "uncritical exaltation of another culture" in which a culture is ascribed "an unreal, stereotyped and exotic quality

New York (CNN) -- A Latino advocacy group organized a march through the streets of Staten Island, New York, Wednesday night to protest a string of attacks on Mexican nationals.

Approximately 300 members of Make the Road New York, an alliance of non-profit organizations and area residents, gathered at the intersection where the most recent attack on a Mexican national took place...

The victim of that attack, Alejandro Galindo, was in attendance.

"I hope that the violence will end, that when we are walking to work we don't have to be scared because we're not criminals. If the violence stopped, we will feel very happy because we will feel like human beings walking down the street," he said.

The attacks -- 10 since April -- are being investigated as "anti-Mexican assault cases," said Inspector Michael Osgood, head of the New York Police Department's Hate Crimes Task Force. The victims have all been Mexican males, police said.

In all but one case, the assailants were described as African-American, police Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne told CNN Wednesday. The victims typically have been beaten while assailants yelled racial slurs at them, he said.

Although the incidents vary, weapons -- including blunt objects, baseball bats and, in one case, a Razor scooter -- were used, police said. The assaults have resulted in multiple hospitalizations, authorities said. Browne said some victims were knocked unconscious. Five of the 10 were robbed, police said.

In the most recent attack, on Saturday, a 32-year-old man was struck in the chest with a baseball bat, knocking him to the ground, said police Sgt. Carlos Nieves. His assailants then kicked him in the face, Nieves said. The man was taken to a hospital, where he received 12 stitches across the left side of his face.

Anti-Immigrant Terror in South Africa

Ten days of mob attacks on immigrants in townships around Johannesburg showed no signs of abating Tuesday, as the death toll reached 23 and South Africa's government faced growing calls to deploy its army. The attacks have mostly targeted impoverished migrants from neighboring African countries living (some legally, some illegally) in shantytowns around the business capital of Africa's wealthiest country. Every night since Saturday May 11, crowds of South African men, some brandishing guns, have rampaged through areas dominated by refugees, warning the foreigners to leave the country, burning huts, raping women, and beating and killing men. The victims say their attackers accuse them of taking jobs away from South Africans, in a country where the national unemployment rate is estimated at around 40%, and is much higher in many townships.

South Africans have been shocked by the depth of the hatred revealed by the violence against immigrants, which has been sharply condemned by the country's political leadership. On Monday, several South African newspapers printed a gruesome photograph of a Malawian man in flames, having been doused in gasoline and set alight by a mob who laughed as he burned. (The victim died in the hospital.) On Tuesday, some of the several thousand refugees sheltering at Jeppestown police station in central Johannesburg told TIME that, earlier in the day, the police compound had been attacked by a mob that had tried to scale the walls before being beaten back by police firing tear gas and rubber bullets.

God home, you can come back when you have taken the vaccine! When Nigerians come to our country they don’t return home! Nigerians are destroying our economy!
