Abstract
As objects go, foreigners are a pretty respectable bunch. They are not figments of our collective imagination, or social constructions, or useful fictions. They are not mind-dependent, and they do not disappear when we don’t keep an eye on them. Our ‘folk theory’ about foreigners is not subject to some global error, and the term ‘foreigner’ certainly manages to refer. Some of our beliefs about foreigners are mistaken, no doubt, but only by failing to accord, case-by-case, with the objective reality to which they are certainly answerable.
