What makes south africans, batswanas and namibians homophobic?

Question

i know there are also homophobic people in botswana and namibia even they didn't attack foreigners there, according to the survey conducted by namibian foreign affairs dep, most of these people from the three countries don't normal get out of their countries ( except for study purposes) due to their countries economic stability and they see foreigners as threats to their countries by taking their jobs etc. i am not homophobic at all, i just don't like it when i come to the bank is just angolans speaking portuguese and at hospitals are just chinese being attende to first apparently because they are foreigners and can't speak english, asians everywhere and they don't bank or buy in local shops, they sleep in their tiny shops eating noddles and dumpling straight from china, i am currently in china through my gov and they threat me like craps. i am namibian!

Answer 1

I think it's the same thing with how people in the US don't like illegal aliens from Mexico because of the jobs that they take from others. The reality is that the illegal aliens are doing jobs that others wouldn't do (they're able to get better jobs or are above the jobs illegal aliens would do). I believe it's the same with Namibia.

Answer 2

Xenophobia is the situation where citizens turn against foreigners in their countries, attacks and even kill them -the latest one being in SA where they attacked Zimbabweans, Somalis and who knows who else who was not S African, WORKING AND EARNING MONEY!  Don't know about Botswana and Namibia - I'm sure one will find that the instigators are either not working - too lazy, looking but praying not to find a job - or they're some hard corps political strife organisers.  Hope your time in China is not for too long - hang in there!

Answer 3

Because homosexuality is disgusting. The suffix "phobia" means "fear", but many people who find homosexual behaviour disgusting, do not fear it, they simply loathe it. There is a difference.

Answer 4

Ask Hennie....

Answer 5

Homophobic is fear of homosexuals.

I think perhaps you mean Xenophobic, the belief that your race/species is greater than another/all others.

It's a normal belief in any race and must be forcibly overcome. Nobody wants foreigners taking their hard-earned jobs and money.

Answer 6

Homophobic: unreasoning fear of or antipathy toward homosexuals and homosexuality.

Xenophobic: an unreasonable fear or hatred of foreigners or strangers or of that which is foreign or strange.
