Personally, for purposes of this issue, no I wouldn't. I'd say a Xenophile would not assume that a glaring appearance is necessarily dangerous -- maybe that's the natural expression for those folks.

I think if you know that they drain the blood of innocent victims, that would overcome any xenophilic tendencies.

Nope. It requires you to be affable with strangers and aliens, not stupid.
