Textbook xenophobia.

I'm white as a lily and can still call a white German guy a stupid foreigner and it's not racist, it's xenophobic.

If you keep diluting the word "racist" it's not going to mean anything nor hold weight anymore.

Jesus.

It's very easy to mean the same thing with both terms, the difference is rarely actually relevant. This is because racism is inherently a contradictory concept, only designed to divide people who would otherwise have no problem interacting with each other. You are just arguing semantics.

Depending on who you ask at what point of history, germans werent considered white.

It's not the same thing though. One is based strictly on race (i.e. skin color, physical features, cultural stereotypes) while the other has nothing to do with race and is just an overall negative bias towards a country. There is a defining line and it's important to keep it so terms like these are used in proper context and not just as a defense mechanism.

Again, both are not okay but it is important to keep the distinction and educate others on the differences.

Racism is always based in xenophobia. The concept of different races has only been created to make people xenophobic. It's the same mindset. That's why it's rarely relevant to make this distinction.
