Why is Broad-Minded a Quirk?

Whereabouts?

The criteria for mental quirks, on the same page, says that they must either require a specific action, behavior, or choice, or give you a small penalty very occasionally or for a very specific thing. ...

As I mentioned before, the problem with Broadminded as described is that it goes beyond this, specifying a state of the world and adding a minor beneficial immunity.

... This is even more clear if you refer back to Xenophilia, of which Broad-Minded is explicitly a minor version of.

Also as I previously noted, the description does not provide any detail about scaling down Xenophilia, it instead details the benefits we have been discussing.

I'll just note again, I have no objection to a Quirk that consists of a scaled down Xenophilia concept. My point about Broadminded is not a beef with what it could be, but rather with, going by the RAW, what it is.
