If the basis of racism is not generalizations and stereotypes at it's core, what is it then?
Nazi Germany applied the most extreme form of racism on the Jewish population and based on what? Hitler's irrational hate of the Jews, "due" to the common thought that the Jewish population were the reason for Germany's economic downfall and the Treaty of Versailles etc etc. Basically all down to the Jews being the scapegoat of Europe for many centuries, which had been ingrained in people's minds.
Xenophobia, simply, is the dislike of foreigners in one's country. Do the Macedonian people, by and large, like the Albanian population in the roMacedonia? My point being, to then call all of the Macedonian population xenophobic would be wrong, because the whole concept is so individual to certain situations, which is wrong in Macedonian's case.
