This is about as stupid, as the left saying that John McCain, who adopted a poor black girl, was a racist. It was world-class stupid, but it didn't stop Obama and the media from saying so.

These people are so thoughtless and demonstrably wrong at every turn, it's breathtaking.
Take a breath, Jim

While I'm glad that you have accepted that Trump is a bigot, as usual you've jumped on something that justifies the leader you acclaim's behavior.

Here's something that explains a little more about common usage and understanding.
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.
