Yeah, I describe this as "exotic-ism", many midwesterners don't really like different things from them, except in a tourist sort of way. However, I think that even if someone in their town is the same as them except for skin color, they'll still treat that person a little different. It's a stretch to say they are colorblind except for cultural differences.
- humanrebar 9y agoWhat you're describing generally fits under the umbrella of xenophobia. You can qualify it as "cultural xenophobia" if you want to distinguish from dislike of aliens in particular.
- gilbetron 9y agoVery true! Phobia always seems a more intense emotion than what the people exhibit, but it is technically correct.
