[British philosopher Roger] Scruton uses the term "oikophobia" as the antithesis of xenophobia.[11] In his book, Roger Scruton: Philosopher on Dover Beach, Mark Dooley describes oikophobia as centered within the Western academic establishment on "both the common culture of the West, and the old educational curriculum that sought to transmit its humane values." This disposition has grown out of, for example, the writings of Jacques Derrida and of Michel Foucault's "assault on 'bourgeois' society result[ing] in an 'anti-culture' that took direct aim at holy and sacred things, condemning and repudiating them as oppressive and power-ridden."[12]
Derrida is a classic oikophobe in so far as he repudiates the longing for home that the Western theological, legal, and literary traditions satisfy. . . . Derrida's deconstruction seeks to block the path to this 'core experience' of membership, preferring instead a rootless existence founded 'upon nothing.'[13]
An extreme aversion to the sacred and the thwarting of the connection of the sacred to the culture of the West is described as the underlying motif of oikophobia; and not the substitution of Judeo-Christianity by another coherent system of belief. The paradox of the oikophobe seems to be that any opposition directed at the theological and cultural tradition of the West is to be encouraged even if it is "significantly more parochial, exclusivist, patriarchal, and ethnocentric."[14] Scruton described "a chronic form of oikophobia [which] has spread through the American universities, in the guise of political correctness."
I absolutely do NOT think that all self-criticism of America (or the West) by Americans (or Westerners) is "oikophobic" -- nor do I mean to accuse anyone on this thread of "oikophobia." Vigorous criticism of oneself or "one's own" can be healthy. But I think it's worth remembering that xenophobia -- which is an irrational degree of contempt for the strange and foreign -- sometimes does have an exact opposite, namely an irrational contempt for the people next door.

And I agree with the famous writer "Anne Onymous", who famously said that "A hatred of the bourgeoisie is totally bourgeois."
