And you're okay using very flexible newspeak like "xenophobia" as a rhetorical bludgeon to shut anyone who doesn't want a slow genocide?

Xenophobia is a perfectly standard term with a clear meaning. The comment I was responding to is fairly explicit about their xenophobia, it’s a perfectly acceptable descriptive. In the other hand “slow genocide” when talking about immigration and evolution of culture is an obvious dog whistle. I hope you can see the irony here
