Phobias are also irrational, sufferers want to be cured of them, they don't relish in them and advocate having a phobia to others do they?

They don't call racists colourphobic do they, because that would be silly.
No but there is a related phobia (xenophobia) and it's different to racism. Racism tends to be based in believing that ones own race is somehow superior. There ARE people who are genuinely (and irrationally) scared of foreigners or anyone "different" to themselves.
