This book examines the issues of hypocrisy, xenophobia and immigration, and the related prejudices and abuses in human societies.
The human selfish gene is acquired evolutionarily for the purpose of self-protection. It drives the instinct to fear the unknown and the unfamiliar as possible dangers. That is why hypocrisy and xenophobia are hardwired into the human psyche. There is an urgent need to temper instinct with reason.
In many supposedly modern democratic countries, perfectly rational people can become so biased against foreigners and people of a different race and culture that they can completely forget their own immigrant ancestry and history. As a result, they say and do all sorts of unkind and even nasty things to those they deem to be "outsiders" or "invaders" or "aliens".
The psychological basis of forced migrations, conflict-triggered migrations and economic migrations are examined as they relate to the early European migrants, the later Chinese, Indian, Jewish and the Muslim migrants.
The violent rejection of immigrants and foreign talents, and the resulting xenophobia, is now plaguing every country in the modern world, especially in the advanced Western countries.
To break out of such a seemingly intractable racial and religious social environment, there is a need to fundamentally change the existing political culture of exclusivity.
The author proposes that successful people from deprived backgrounds should get together and start a new type of youth-oriented political party, specifically designed to attract younger people of all backgrounds, race and religion, to build a new society of equality and fairness for all.
