Xenophobia involves fear and dislike of strangers or foreigners, which can be mitigated through contact and assimilation. Ethnocentrism involves judging other cultures by the standards of one's own culture, implying a sense of in-group superiority, but exposure and interaction can reduce these attitudes. Both concepts involve attitudes that can be eased by contact and assimilation, unlike racism, which is more deeply rooted in the belief in the superiority of one race over another and is not as easily mitigated by contact.
