allophobia al-uh-FOH-bee-uh
noun
The condition, practice, or ideology of being allophobic.

Etymology:
From Greek allos “other” + -phobia “fear.” The accidental overlap with English all underscores the sense of hostility toward all who are different.
The policy was criticized as deeply allophobic, marginalizing anyone outside the dominant group.

An allophobe tends to see diversity as a threat rather than a strength.
