Does 'xenophobia' have other connotations in the US besides its established meaning?

• damnyou 9y ago
  Xenophobia is fear or loathing of outsiders. NIMBYism prevents outsiders from moving to your neighborhood. It is xenophobic in intent and effect.

    According to other comments, people don't seem to care about who moves in / from where, rather they care about their property value being diluted.

      That is a distinction without a difference.
