I want to introduce the notion of "heterophobie" as coined by sociologist Albert Memmi ... Heterophobia is meant to signify all those phobic and aggressive constellations that are directed toward others and legitimized by several psychological, cultural, social, and metaphysical "arguments".

«L'hétérophobie pourrait désigner ces constellations phobiques et agressives, dirigées contre autrui, qui prétendent se légitimer par des arguments divers, psychologiques, culturels, sociaux ou métaphysiques, et dont le racisme, au sens biologique, serait une variante… Hétérophobie permettrait d'englober toutes les variétés de refus agressifs» devant mieux rendre compte de la complexité de la peur et du rejet de la différence qu'elle soit biologique, culturelle, religieuse, de classe ou de genre.
