Social entrepreneurship has grown as an established field of inquiry, accompanied by growth in both academic and practice. In this paper, we offer a novel perspective on why some social entrepreneurs venture for foreigners. We employ xenophilia, a love of foreigners, to explain why some people care for foreigners by venturing for them. We conceptualize that religious and social class logics influence a xenophilic perspective of foreigners. We also analyze how xenophilia can have a darker side, particularly in social entrepreneurship. Our arguments and analysis allow us to provoke future research questions and offer practical implications.

社会企业家精神已经发展成为一个既定的研究领域，伴随着学术和实践的发展。在本文中，我们提供了一个新颖的观点，说明为什么一些社会企业家会冒险向外国人投资。我们聘用了对外国人的热爱“亲爱的人”来解释为什么有些人通过冒险来照顾他们。我们概念化地认为，宗教和社会阶级的逻辑影响了外国人的异己观。我们还分析了恋爱癖如何带来更黑暗的一面，尤其是在社会企业家精神方面。我们的论据和分析使我们能够提出未来的研究问题并提供实际意义。
