Although not in general use in 1941, it would have described the feeling of the U.S. populace.

WHAT IS Xenophobia ? Don't worry it's non fatal and curable. To save from looking it up (incase you haven't already.)

The 21-year-old site defines xenophobia as "fear or hatred of foreigners, people from different cultures, or strangers." And it plans to expand its entry to include fear or dislike of "customs, dress and cultures of people with backgrounds different from our own," Solomon said in a recent interview.

It's also the 2016 WORD OF THE YEAR at dictionary dot com.

Xenophobia defination appears to require modification to make it MORE INCLUSIVE.
