I actually see XenophobicHerbivore as being a broader condition (ie I\\\'m a herbivore and anything that isn\\\'t just like me is to be feared) whereas FantasticRacism is essentially taking prejudice or racism and picking a \\\"fantasy\\\" element as the basis for the prejudice (ie three-headed aliens feel that two-headed aliens are inferior, elves think dwarves are a crude species barely better than dogs, etc).
Since I\\\'ve watched many, many interviews with the various creators, I know that their focus was on social bias and prejudice that expressed itself in many ways among the various characters. Stu, a herbivore, was generally fearful of predators en masse, while Chief Bogo, also a herbivore, had a bias against smaller mammals being effective ZPD officers. The Junior Ranger Scouts had it in for Nick not because he was a predator but because he was a fox and everyone knows that foxes aren\\\'t trustworthy.
With such a broad spectrum of bias at play in the movie, I hope you can see why I feel that XenophobicHerbivore is a little too broad.
