Difference between xenophobia and racism

This article inappropriately conflates xenophobia and racism throughout. The two are similar, but differ in important ways that have been missed or ignored. The second paragraph of the article explains it well: "According to UNESCO, the terms xenophobia and racism often overlap, but differ in how the latter encompasses prejudice based on physical characteristics while the former is generally centered on behavior based on the notion of a specified people being adverse to the culture or nation."

Unfortunately much of the article assumes that all racism is xenophobia while ignoring non-racial xenophobia. This could use major clean-up. Paisarepa (talk) 01:03, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

I removed about India which was all about hatred towards Muslims (better covered on Islamophobia in India) and also removed Zimbabwe which was only about hatred towards White people who are residing for decades in Zimbabwe. These examples really don't meet the definition of "xenophobia". 27.57.167.68 (talk) 14:51, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Medical and geopolitical reasons missing

I am missing the section Causes here. I suspect it is partly due the fear of contagion or invasion from migrants, etc: if as a member of a community you were not xenophobic enough, you died. See Health in Migration, Epidemics and such. Zezen (talk) 13:19, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
