Latest research suggests that Xenophilia is the result of ‘objectification’ from one or either parties, always unhealthy.

That international relationships require strong commitment is a fact. Neuroscientists deem race-mixing as Objectifying. Although not my case, I can’t hide the discomfort of the statement.

Objectification as in giving up one s culture for the other, a form of escapism rather than love.

The largest number of expatriates from developed countries still accounts for interracial marriages.

We have been deprived of yet the harmonious definition ‘interracial relationships’ for the pathological ‘Xenophilia’.
I bet ‘Behaviour’ will soon replaced by ‘Pathology’.
A pathology is always dysfunctional.

I’m aware of the challenges of interracial relationships, though I ll never see them as pathological.
I met my Asian wife coincidentally in my country when I lost my family and she saved my life.

I never gave up my culture in 15 years of marriage.
In fact, I value my culture even more as an expat.

Scientists should emphasize what the real challenges are.

Xenophilia goes oftentimes hand in hand with Xenophobia.
We have given a bad name to the latter, related to racism.

Modern-day xenophobia is very much the Fear of the host from the expatriates, not hatred.

I hope the term Xenophobia will be wiped out once and for all in favour of peaceful resolutions like interracial relations.
And that neuroscientists would stop pretending to be linguists.
