Phobia also means fear, usually (in modern times) referring to an irrational fear of whatever thing it's tied to.

Nobody is irrationally afraid of gang rapists, goat molesters, and terrorists. They're legitimate concerns to have, and being anti those things is totally normal.

This is "but it's dey culta" writ large, by even more malicious/retarded people than the ones who tried to defend blacks knife fighting because "well, it's their culture".
