Not to suggest that this isn’t xenophobia, nor that the subject can be summed up this succinctly, but there is something to be said for a culture not wanting to be swept away or squashed by others. As with pretty much everything else, there’s middle ground.
That’s what that is. You summed it up succinctly. You just think white people’s culture doesn’t count as a culture and you like to use “phobia” as a means to insult people rather than describe effects. Obviously white people are the premier example for why xenophobia should exist, but at that point we’re blaming me who has nothing to do with anything and has only ever worked hard and focused on distilling the truth of things.
Of course not. “Middle ground” necessitates effort on both sides. I just think it’s worth bringing up when that word starts getting tossed around. It’s easy to create hard lines when it gets used.

No “but,” it’s plain xenophobia, no debate about it.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
Obi-wan declaring himself a Sith was the weirdest part of the prequels.
Miss that part, did you? Also, nothing is “plain” anything. Expand your view one bit and see the world for the complex place it is.
I think there’s no middle ground when the answer is isolation instead of trying to integrate foreigners into the local culture.
