#1 Oikophobia - from W. S. Gilbert's, The Mikado:

"And the idiot who praises with enthusiastic tones,

All centuries but this and every country but his own."

#3 An another word popular at least in some circles is "ethnomasochism"; it was coined by ultra-rightwing writer Guillaume Faye, and has a similar meaning, only with a racial connotation rather than cultural.

#4 I do not doubt that there is such a thing as xenophobia, though it is a very different thing from racism.

While we're at it, time to come up with a new 'ism' for those with a blind hatred of military people along the lines of racism, sexism, etc. Another fine condition of the left, or is that an implied subset of the Left[tm] cause I know the traditional left had no problems with using uniform people to kill those they perceived as a threat [i.e. Stalin, Mao, etc].
