I mean...the stereotype is that British cuisine is bad...and it is infact bad.
That's not to say that no Brits can cook, although thai green curry definitely needs to take out a restraining order against Jamie Oliver (context: see YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vksB2S90FVY).
But when it comes to British dishes that aren't fucking cakes, all there is are various bit of shit that you have to smother in gravy to get any taste, the same way an absolute monster smothers a steak in ketchup.
So no, I wouldn't call it xenophobic because it's totally true. It's certainly not racist because no racial stuff is involved.
Edit: I overlooked some dishes of British origin that can, infact be amazing. I'm still leaving this up, but yeah, turns out I forgot a few things.
