Tom Poland Columnist Our Changing World Fear of the Unknown It’s one of those words writers avoid. It is difficult to spell. It’s Latin, and it has “phobia” attached to it, never a good thing. “Xenophobia.” Do you have an irrational fear of foreigners? Do you dislike their customs and culture? Let’s hope not. Neither do I, but for a long time I sensed foreigners were different in ways that mattered, in ways I could not comprehend. You could say my eyes were closed. Growing up in the rural South provided no opportunity to meet people from other countries. I wasn’t sure what to expect should I meet a Kem R. Smith, CPA • Accounting • Payroll • New Businesses • Taxes We Can Guide You Through Your Financial Matters 158 Langford Rd. Suite B 786-5200 person from another country. I didn’t even know if I would meet a foreigner. I was young and naive. You could say my eyes needed opening. I didn’t serve in the military and go abroad. Two years’ Air Force ROTC at the University of Georgia was as close as I got to military service. But it was at Georgia that I began to see people from Asia, Europe, and other continents. Like ships in the night, we passed each other silently. It wasn’t until I began teaching at the college level that I began to interact with people from other countries. I remember the first foreign student I taught, Setsue Hayashi, a petite Japanese girl, polite to the max, and a bright student. As I taught her, I recalled images from my dad’s photo album of Hiroshima, rubble as far as the eye can see, I-beams drooping like melted candles. The vanquished enemy. Yet, here was a woman from Japan. She was sweet, polite, and attractive. There was nothing to fear. My first trip to Europe opened my eyes a great deal. I spent two weeks in Bavaria, stayed in a home overlooking the Danube, and ate side by side with Germans at restaurants, festivals, and their home. I remember the beautiful Bavarian countryside, white church steeples rising from dark green forests, and I remember driving past the huge BMW plant off the a u t o b a h n o u t s i d e Munich. I owned a car made there once. Germany, I thought, is not that different from back home. A few years ago, I met Paolo Bazzoni, an entertaining character from Milan, Italy. We discovered we had a lot in common and became friends. Together, we’d go out on the town. Paolo is cosmopolitan, being from Milan and having lived in England, Argentina, the USA, and now China. We stay in touch even though he lives in Beijing, where he is the chief financial officer for a corporation. Back in 2001, I spent two weeks in Europe. I traveled through Paris, Madrid, Valencia, Alicante, Rome, and Venice.

On he comes, striding with purpose, making me edgy.” in Valencia and traveled by train through Spain and Italy as silver olive groves passed my window. I saw castles in brown, dry Spain, became friends with a young woman from Copenhagen when we missed a flight in Paris, and stood among people from the world over while touring the Vatican and the Coliseum. But that’s not my chief memory of that trip. This is. It’s a bit early in the afternoon, around 2 p.m. I’m leaning against the corner of a building in Valencia. The sun is warm against my face and to my right the Mediterranean Sea sparkles. Palms move lazily with the breeze. It’s serene. Suddenly, to my left, I see a man headed directly for me. On he comes, striding with purpose, making me edgy. As he approaches, he slows, becomes cautious, and then within two feet of me he stops and studies me. What now? With halting words, being as clear as he can, he says “Do ... you ... speak ... English? “Sure, pal. I’m an American. “Thank God,” he says, “Where is the train station?” “The train station,” I say, “is 300 yards in the direction from where you came.” Off he trots toward the station. So there we were. Two Americans unsure of one another, each thinking the other was a foreigner. I know people from other countries, but I focused on Japan, Germany, and Italy for a reason. Those three countries formed the Axis, the triumvirate we fought in World War II. They were the enemy. Kill or be killed back in the day. My friend, Paolo, owns a vacation home in Tuscany. I’m free to go there whenever I want. Things change don’t they. In my youth, images of how people from other countries were different swirled through my mind. It all came to naught. Sure, we have different customs, different cuisines, and different beliefs, but when you get right down to the brass tacks, people are people.
