See that right there, "unreasoned or irrational"?

No, Nords fear and distrust of other races is not unreasoned nor is it irrational.

Quite the opposite infact, since nearly every other race has attacked, enslaved or tried to wipe Nords out, Nords being cautious of other races is not xenophobia.

But are instead a natural development from other races hostile actions against them.
