Well, to be fair, being a justified xenophobe doesn't really change the fact that she IS a xenophobe.

Well, there's a difference between xenophobia and properly placed paranoia/precaution. As mentioned she was right about how the council would treat humanity, she is correct that a lot of aliens don't treat humans like equals, and so-forth. Her fears being reasonable and well-placed makes them extremely different from if she assumed those things and was totally wrong. Especially if said fears come about as a result of a reasoned application of logic as opposed to unreasoned hatred for the other.

I really hate it when people play 'Captain Inclusive' as well. I mean, I include aliens in my crew and trust them and everything, but that's because I've come to trust them as individuals. If I reject a crew mate for any reason (and I certainly have cases in ME2/3 where I wouldn't mind sending someone packing) it's because they aren't personally working out. I'm not going to include people simply because 'diversity is good and xenophobia is bad'. Give me an all human crew, an all turian/asari/quarian/whatever crew and I'll be just as fine. So long as I trust the individuals in said crew.
