Can you name a place that doesn't have that? I've lived in three different (Western) countries and felt the same thing in all of them.

- y4mi 10y agoyou've lived in three western countries for 10+ years each, and your mother tongue is one of the official languages of the 'foreign' nation?
- Malice 10y agoIf I understand your question correctly, then yes.
- erinnh 10y agoSwitzerland is very much worse than a lot of other country in that regard. It might happen in other countries as well, but its very much the majority in Switzerland.
- kgwgk 10y agoSwitzerland has one of the largest percentages of foreign-born and non-citizen residents, so probably it's not so bad. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_foreign-born_population https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_foreign...
- Pica_soO 10y agoActually, that is a human trait you will find everywhere. Sometimes it comes in a cultural disguise (unbelievers), sometimes hidden away, because the rich guy/woman might share the wealth, but wherever you go, people are suspicious/hateful of strangers. Only group exempt from that is teenagers, who seem to be less risk averse, but if socially lower ranking also go full foreigner hatred to boost self-esteem. Milk the hatred and distrust for the benefits (Always double-check on foreign science! ) and name it to everyone falling for it as what it is: Ancient Ape bugs. So mild mockery would be the best reaction i guess. Social suppression seems to have failed on a large scale recently.
