Xenophobia was definitely one (of several) factors that contributed to Trump's win, but that doesn't mean Democrats shouldn't focus on economic factors, since voters who switched to Trump for those reasons could be swayed. Unfortunately, any discussion of race these days seems to involve people who are much to quick to call others racist, as well as those who will scream "STOP PLAYING THE RACE CARD!" any time race is even mentioned.
