Slavophobia
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Anti-Slavic sentiment.
Slavophobia also emerged twice in the United States. The first time was during the Progressive Era, when immigrants from Eastern Europe were met with opposition from the dominant class of Western European–origin American citizens, who drew on a mix of Puritanism, Anglo-Saxonism, Teutonism, Social Darwinism, and Eugenics to frame Eastern Europeans as racially inferior, culturally unassimilable, and a threat to national vitality; and again during the Cold War, when the United States became locked in an intensive global rivalry with the Soviet Union.
