    Yet this isn’t even bigotry. It’s straight out xenophobia and hatred.

    Bigotry is the broader category containing racism, xenophobia, and hatred based on perception of belonging to a group.

    Definition of bigotry: “obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.”

    Bigotry isn’t ‘less bad than’ racism or xenophobia. Hating people for being from another country is one type of bigotry.
