It's interesting how some people get 'racism' and 'xenaphobia' mixed up. For example if someone said "I hate Pakistanis" then they are immediately branded 'racist' but that would only be correct if the judgement was based on the colour of their skin. If that person said it because of where they come from, they are subsequently 'xenaphobic'.

It's interesting therefore how someone can be called 'racist' if they complain about the number of English people moving in to a Welsh town.

(This is just an example, I'm not saying I agree with it)
