Afrophobia is a term to describe hatred and fear towards Black people. A person with afrophobia hates and fears Black people and anyone of African descent. The term "afrophobia" is observable in as discrimination and racist violence on the basis of a persons skin colour, ethnic origin, and nationality. Afrophobia is like homophobia or Islamophobia and other forms of discrimination grounds in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood.  Afrophobia can also intersect with other grounds such as sex, homophobia, islamophobia, and disability creating cases of multiple discrimination grounds. A person who displays afrophobia or is thought to do so is described as being afrophobic and labeled as an afrophobe.
