Ruzibiza, Murutongore, Koba, Nguruvi na wengine. Ni bora tujadili kwa uwazi na kwa busara swala hili. Nina amini kuwa kama wewe ni mtanzania mmatumbi, mtanzania mndegereko au mtanzania mtusi, cha kwanza ni Mtanzania mengine baadaye.
Tunajua kuwa hapa Tanzania hakuna ujinga wa kuwabagua watu kutokana na kabila au mwonekano wao. Kinachotokea Kagera hakikusababishwa na watanzania, hata wanaoitwa watusi wanaoathirika ni kutokana na kauli za Kigali, lakini sio kutokana na tabia ya kuwabagua au kuwachukia.
Kama Tanzania ingekuwa na xenephobia sidhani kama kungekuwa na wageni ambao wanaishi bila vibali na watu wanajua na kukaa kimya, tena wengine wanawaficha ili polisi wasiwakamate.
Kauli za kuanza kuwaponda watutsi ni very untanzanian, hata kama wao wanatutukana na kutufananisha na Interahamwe who cares?? we are not even close to that. we never massacred Tutsis nor Hutus, and we hate none of them. Chuki kati yao, iwe ni Rwanda, DRC au Burundi, is not our business, security of our country and of the people who live in it, hata kama wao ni wahutu au watusi, is our top priority.

Xenophobia
Xenophobia is the irrational or unreasoned fear of that which is perceived to be foreign or strange.[SUP]
[1][/SUP][SUP]
[2][/SUP] It comes from the
Greek words ξένος (
xenos), meaning "stranger," "foreigner," and φόβος (
phobos), meaning "fear."[SUP]
[3][/SUP]
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.[SUP]
[4][/SUP] 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".[SUP]

Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action urges all governments to take immediate measures and to develop strong policies to prevent and combat all forms and manifestations of racism, xenophobia or related intolerance, where necessary by enactment of appropriate legislation including penal measure.[SUP]

[h=2]Definitions[/h] Dictionary definitions of
xenophobia include: deep-rooted, irrational hatred towards foreigners (Oxford English Dictionary; OED), unreasonable fear or hatred of the unfamiliar (Webster's).[SUP]

A xenophobic person has to genuinely think or believe at some level that the target is in fact a foreigner. This arguably separates xenophobia from ordinary
prejudice. In various contexts, the terms "xenophobia" and "
racism" seem to be used interchangeably, though they can have wholly different meanings (xenophobia can be based on various aspects, racism being based solely on
ethnicity, and
ancestry). Xenophobia can also be directed simply to anyone outside a
culture. Basically, a completely biased opinion regarding foreign matters.[SUP][

Creating
stereotypes is a way of organizing information. The problem comes when you start discriminating based on these stereotype in ways that counter accepted cultural values. Discriminating is the act where stereotyping is the thought process. When discriminating you start attributing good and bad evaluations of people based on that stereotype.[SUP][

[h=2]Two forms[/h] The first is a population group present within a
society that is not considered part of that society.[SUP][
citation needed][/SUP] Often they are recent
immigrants, but xenophobia may be directed against a group which has been present for centuries, or became part of this society through conquest and territorial expansion. This form of xenophobia can elicit or facilitate hostile and violent reactions, such as mass expulsion of immigrants,
pogroms or in other cases,
genocide.[SUP][

The second form of xenophobia is primarily cultural, and the objects of the phobia are cultural elements which are considered alien. All cultures are subject to external influences, but cultural xenophobia is often narrowly directed, for instance, at foreign
loan words in a national language. It rarely leads to aggression against individual persons, but can result in political campaigns for cultural or linguistic purification. In addition, entirely xenophobic societies tend not to be open to interactions from anything "outside" themselves, resulting in
isolationism that can further increase xenophobia.[SUP][

[h=2]Ways of acquiring[/h] the following are ways one would develop a general and more often a specific type of Xenophobia:[SUP][
original research?][/SUP]
- Bad emotional experience with other groups or specific alien populist group.
- Rational, or, analytical reasons for the revulsion.
- Classical conditioning, that is when someone is conditioned to having a fear or repulse from aliens generally, or, from specific group. ways to instill it would be Dehumanization, mostly
by
propaganda, for example: a video containing group members shown distorted, erroneous, and in proportional phases of
horror sounding.
- Imitating others, mainly these that are close to the individual, or, in many cases, societal norms of a nation.
