> The key check on rising xenophobia is to limit the options for the xenophobe to enjoy the cover of anonymity. This could both blunt the current trends in xenophobia and limit many opportunities to socialize a new generation to be intolerant. Xenophobia deserves the same categorization as other widely reviled forms of bigotry.
I suppose we could erect pillories and publicly shame secret xenophobes, and take away their children to "limit their opportunity to socialize a new generation to be intolerant."
I'm speechless.
