We would like to introduce a term coined by Adela Cortina which arose recently and that is affiliated to that of exclusion: It is aporophobia (Cortina, 1997). Feeling of refusal is towards poor people, towards those who do not have a way out of their situation. It breeds on the prejudice that poor people are to blame for their own misery. This feeling subdues many behaviours that are essentially racist, xenophobic and it makes difficult not only integration, but also some politics involving realistic aid to immigrants (Martínez, 2002, pp. 17-23). As pointed out by Cortina (1997), “we don’t marginalize the immigrant because he is rich, nor the black if he is a basketball player, nor the retired with patrimony, we marginalize poor people” (p. 70).
