A bit like original sin then

No - not in least bit like original sin; original sin is fecked up theological crap concerning impulses which are, in reality, rather quite fun - unlike Xenophobia, which, like other phobias, are always a pain. I'm not advocating 'naturalness' here, or passivity to base impulses which compromise our very humanity, which to succeed must be a) individualistic and b) all embracing.
