It's one thing to be racist or discriminatory to individuals of a different color or creed who're also humans and who've existed and interacted with your ancestors for centuries, but it's quite another to be suspicious and distrustful towards a bunch of aliens with completely different histories, cultures, biological compositions, and identities who've just suddenly become a part of the human story. I don't think I'd be comfortable if I woke up tomorrow and my worldview was shaken by news reports of the discovery of an entire galaxy worth of disparate aliens and Intergalactic institutions. How would you know what their intentions were? And given their superior technology, a certain degree of paranoia makes intuitive sense: they could destroy humanity without blinking an eye at any moment if they wanted to.
Don't care. Bigots get no mercy. 'Specially when the bigot in question has no real experience on the matter and is likely having their ass saved by cover fire from friendly Alien allies.
