albusphobia

A strong fear, dislike, or aversion of White people or the White race. It is derived from Latin word “albus” for white and Greek “phobos” for fear, but when used as an English suffix can also mean “aversion” or “hatred”
Many of the people tearing down statues of White people suffer from albusphobia.

albaphobia

A rhetorical reflex where people react with discomfort, denial, or hostility when whiteness is named as a cultural identity. It’s not a clinical fear—it’s a pushback against reflection. Albaphobia shows up when efforts to acknowledge white cultural heritage (see Albaveneration) are mischaracterized as divisive or unnecessary.
“Albaphobia emerged quickly when the panel proposed albaveneration as a framework for cultural reflection.”
