I was about to say even German doesn't have a word as stupid as that and then looked up what it is here.
Fremdenfeindlichkeit - very similar
Have you experienced such a thing over there?
A local chap near me was behaving like a **** the other week so I called him a ****. He said he didn't like my manners.
Cheeky *******.
