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)

Causes missing, and user:Generalrelative keeps deleting my evolutionary explanations, even though they are also present in the German version.

article reads like a newspaper.

the article doesn't read like an encyclopedic entry at all.

after giving a short definition of what xenophobia is, most of the article is just a collection of events and literally feels like reading through some kind of magazine. 

I'm considering leaving a   "Missing information"   banner on the article. thoughts?
