The South African populist, nationalist and anti-immigration group "Operation Dudula" is once more making headlines, having recently launched a campaign targeting migrant children. By arguing that there are not enough school placements for South African children, the overtly xenophobic group has called for the exclusion of migrant children from public schools. Operation Dudula is known for its head-turning publicity stunts. Members of the group have, for instance,blocked access to public hospitals for foreignersin the country, saying they should not use facilities funded by taxpayers' money.

I would rather die than go back to Turkey, says Ali*. But life is also getting worse here. I can see that our Japanese neighbours are much cooler towards us these days. Some refuse even to greet us. More than a decade after he arrived in Japan with his wife and their two eldest children, Ali is fighting a battle on two fronts a decision on his application for refugee status, and rising hostility towards his family and other members of the country's Kurdish community.

Sexual abuser and TV host Mitch Kessler (Steve Carell) was constantly scheming to get back on the air before he finally drove off an Italian cliffside. His replacement, Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon), stumbled into the January 6 Capitol Hill insurrection and ran into her brother, then covered up evidence of his involvement. Tech billionaire Paul Marks's (Jon Hamm) spaceship, on which Bradley later travels to space, looks not unlike a dick, and he turns out to be a dick, which is a poetic coincidence.

"The new Germany" is "a shame, a travesty," says Kurt Caz. In a video, the South African-German travel blogger presents Frankfurt's notorious Bahnhofsviertel neighborhood near the city's main train station as the new normal, which has been "completely taken over by crime, illegal migrants and drugs." Drug addicts lie around on the footpath, a suspected dealer threatens him, a woman throws a bottle: the video has more than 6 million views, and many xenophobic comments, on YouTube, and more than 10 million on TikTok.

An attempt to promote friendship between Japan and countries in Africa has transformed into a xenophobic row about migration after inaccurate media reports suggested the scheme would lead to a flood of immigrants. The controversy erupted after the Japan International Cooperation Agency, or JICA, said this month it had designated four Japanese cities as Africa hometowns for partner countries in Africa: Mozambique, Nigeria, Ghana and Tanzania.

Moral Foundations Theory (MFT) proposes that humans have innate capacities to hold certain moral values, which are then either nurtured or stunted by socio-cultural forces. The five morals typically listed are care, fairness, in-group loyalty, respect (for authority), and purity; other versions propose additional values such as liberty (which was primarily devised to distinguish Libertarians). Political conservatives tend to score highly across all five morals, while political liberals tend to score highly only in care and fairness ( Haidt & Nosek, 2009). Parasitic-Stress Theory (PST) proposes that human values were fundamentally shaped, as we evolved, by the interaction of our ancestors with parasites and diseases ( Fincher & Thornhill, 2014).

Marie has lived in Kerry for more than 20 years but is noticing rising tension towards non-Irish people.

For many residents of central Asian countries, Russia remains the only realistic option to earn a living abroad, given a lack of opportunities back home. A shared language, familiar bureaucracy and established migration networks made this a natural transition following the collapse of the Soviet Union. But is Russia still the safe haven for central Asian migrant workers it once was? Increasingly, the answer seems to be no.

gave that Russian guy six days notice. Is a Russian better than an American? That's how I look at it. So I'm ready to go five days notice. I'm ready to fight next week.

Eitetsu Nishikawa believes that the ease with which foreigners can obtain a driver's license in Japan threatens his job, linking immigration to rising crime rates.

"In Portland Shakespeare Project's current staging of the play, the words are barely out of Portia's mouth before we hear offstage drunken laughter that emphasizes her xenophobia and provides a potent reminder that Merchant may be called a comedy, but this version is intent on grappling with the prejudices displayed by its characters."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that visa revocations will include students with ties to the Chinese Communist Party and will enhance scrutiny for future applications.

Only 0.4% of German soldiers have consistent right-wing extremist attitudes, considerably lower than the 5.4% in the general population, indicating ongoing challenges in extremism.
