The article sucked. As mentioned.
But, the trope set forth above -- about 'fear' -- is trite and, in my experience, rarely true.
It's the pat answer as to the motivation behind virtually any kind of bigotry, prejudice, or snobbery.
When a member of group A claims that members of group B dislike him because B's are 'afraid' of A's, it is usually the case that A simply won't (or can't) acknowledge the legitimate reasons why B's might find A's repugnant, annoying, or obnoxious.
