writpetition - 2005-02-21

Here's a new word - passportism - meaning: a way of behaving or thinking that treats people coming from certain countries or holding passports of such countries unfairly; and its adjective - passportist -meaning: someone who does not like or respect people who hold passports from certain countries or who thinks people with certain passports as lacking in some quality or attribute; thinks of them as inferior to some others.

Think I've sealed my place in the English lexicon!
