Xenophobe

xen·o·phobe

[zen-uh-fohb]
noun
a person who fears or hates foreigners, strange customs, etc.

Can you please use it in a sentence? Surely!

In the past, America celebrated the melding of cultures and was even fondly known as the melting pot; as such, it would be shameful if our nation elected a xenophobe as president of the United States of America in 2012.
