I like the honesty of Amanda, because I think we are always a bit afraid of the "other". It is a very old part in our brain that just knew in the old days: Foreigners!!! Be Aware!!!! Danger!!!!(they come and steal our horses, our women, our land)
It is just that in these days we do not need that brain anymore, but the first thing is still fear. Politicians always use this primal fear to create an enemy image.
So how to get this open mind?travelling and meeting the other is important as Kapucinski said at:

No. In the end, all humans have the same goals of living in peace, food, water, etc. We usually have more to learn from each other than fear. It just takes an open mind.

afraid of whatever....like Amanda (in the video)is afraid of African people because she does not know them, only through rumours....
what are you afraid of?
Re: ARE YOU AFRAID OF PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES?
i guess our bad and irrelevant prejudice and pressumptions about people cause the fear...????
