It seems to me that if a player wants his character to have the benefit of a trait in play, he should buy it on his character sheet, quite irrespective of whether he possesses that trait IRL.

Why do narrow-minded people dislike broad-minded people? If they didn't, they wouldn't be narrow-minded.

Ah! So, you agree then, that there is a basic or inherent level of narrowmindedness at work on a general basis?

Oh, BTW, your justification for Broadmindedness being disadvantageous (the negative views of the non-Broadminded), is not alluded to at all in the Xenophilia description which you were pointing earlier. So really going by your approach to Broadminded, it should be a kind of OPH.
