xenofobo

Today's Parola del giorno is the adjective, xenofobo, which means:

• xenophobic

This word has popped up in the press recently with all the rhetoric from Italy's right which often uses security and terrorism fears to create laws that work against foreigners living in and wanting to emigrate to Italy:

Il discoro di un certo politico della destra ha causato un aumento dei sentimenti xenofobi.
A certain politician of the right's speech has caused an increase in xenophobic feelings.
