Also the Greek word xenos, as in xenophobia, doesn't just mean foreigner or stranger. It includes the concept of guest and hospitality. We are afraid of being hospitable. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenos_(....

Similarly, I think. Looking at our use of language when we try to change things for the better for all is important. I got this below, off a group page on FB Obviously it refers to the American context, but similarly we can find the positive narrative and build our new story that way.
Words say: *copied from a human on an Indivisible page hi Everyone -- Want to make a suggestion about wording that is taken straight out of the indigenous Hawaiian's activist playbook, ie: that we refuse to use the word "protestor" when referring to our activities and activism (particularly when talking to the press). The indigenous Hawaiians realized a long time ago that words matter and the word "protestor" is triggering in the American context so they now insist on being referred to as "protectors" not "protestors" and will immediately correct anyone who says otherwise. I want to suggest we emulated this because we are not "protestors for American Democracy" but "Protectors OF American Democracy". It takes a critical mass of people to do this but once accomplished,it changes the entire dialogue and perspective in our favour.
