That is the definition of xenophoby.
Chauvinism, nationalism and racism... nazism even.

The question is why being tolerant at all? If I don't like somebody that's my problem, but when this someone starts pissing me off I'll tell him to stop. Call me a nazi if you want, I don't care. Tolerance if a form of hypocrisy. People don't actually start to like people they told to like. But they're bullied into that. They're afraid to appear homophobes, racists or worse. But what of the other side? Say, I am a xenophobe, a homophobe, a chauvinist and a racist. I have rights too, goddamnit! I'll feel discriminated. I have rights to express my views, conduct homophobe parades and wear swastika according to the same logic the 'tolerance romantics' use.
