those two terms don't relate. Xenophobia is the irrational fear of foriegners.

A xenophobe is someone who hates or fears anyone or anything that is foreign. A racist is someone who hates or fears anyone of a different race. Both are bigots.

Racists, hate people because of their race.
Xenophobes dislike strangers, or people of a different nationality than their own.
Good luck.
