That's why I also put xenophobic.
And the UN would say your comment was racist.
Legal
The UN does not define "racism", however it does define "racial discrimination": According to the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination,
the term "racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction, or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic
origin that has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the
recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life.[12]
This definition does not make any difference between discrimination based on
ethnicity and
race, in part because the distinction between the two remains debatable among
anthropologists.
[13] Similarly, in British law the phrase
racial group
means "any group of people who are defined by reference to their race,
colour,
nationality (including citizenship) or ethnic or national
origin"
