It’s your lack of basic reading comprehension. See, she said “racism”, not “ONLY BECAUSE OF racism”.

See those extra words? They modify the context.

Oh boy, now I have to define context…

The word you're actually looking for is xenophobic, not racism. Xenophobia explains the decisionmaking of states where the culture is at odds.
