To the point: In German, one should not use the concept of “Ausländerfeindlichkeit” – which can be translated by Xenophobia – but connotes more the hate of foreigners, but rather state that this is outright racism as there are very few chances if any that a blond Dane or Swede be confronted to it.
If you are Rom, black, or non Northern European, then things get more difficult.
