Anxiety, apprehension, and "feeling uncomfortable" are diffuse/lesser fear. So since she talked "comfortable", she's talking a mild form of Xenophobia not racism.

No, you leveled an accusation at me, so I responded with what that accusation deserved.

No accusation. You just don't understand what she's talking about, and it looks like you're stuck there and refuse to recognize xenophobia in terms of being uncomfortable is a very common things, almost everyone has it, but it doesn't rise to racism. Have you ever done any introspection? Have you ever wondered when does plain old normal xenophobia become racism? Nearly all racists exhibit xenophobia so it can be confusing. But she's not talking racism, she's talking xenophobia, and she's in a profession where they have to go inside many times.

Why do you think we have the word xenophobia?
