We definitely disagree.
Because you are xenophobic yourself, yes.
That’s a weak argument. Just because I bring up another point of view doesn’t mean I subscribe to the view mentioned, which I don’t.
If a country doesn’t want to allow immigration then that’s perfectly moral. It may eventually kill their culture off in the long run but it’s not xenophobic by definition.
If a country does allow immigration and then is prejudice towards a group coming in then absolutely that’s xenophobic.
Backtrack if you want, but what you said was xenophobic by definition and I'm not going to bother arguing semantics.
Edit: I like how you completely changed your comment after I replied. Very cool
