Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

That's called xenophobia.
It's really in this year
Not to suggest that this isn't xenophobia, nor that the subject can be summed up this succinctly, but there is something to be said for a culture not wanting to be swept away or squashed by others. As with pretty much everything else, there's middle ground.
No "but," it's plain xenophobia, no debate about it.
Miss that part, did you? Also, nothing is "plain" anything. Expand your view one bit and see the world for the complex place it is.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
Obi-wan declaring himself a Sith was the weirdest part of the prequels.
I think there's no middle ground when the answer is isolation instead of trying to integrate foreigners into the local culture.
Of course not. "Middle ground" necessitates effort on both sides. I just think it's worth bringing up when that word starts getting tossed around. It's easy to create hard lines when it gets used.
That's what that is. You summed it up succinctly. You just think white people's culture doesn't count as a culture and you like to use "phobia" as a means to insult people rather than describe effects. Obviously white people are the premier example for why xenophobia should exist, but at that point we're blaming me who has nothing to do with anything and has only ever worked hard and focused on distilling the truth of things.
