And the sterotype they are playing into is sexist.

Maybe, I'm not sure where I fall on that. I view it basically the same as like the "fat American" stereotype- so is that xenophobic? Actually I would say that is worse, because being dainty isn't necessarily a negative trait to many people.

Hmm trying to shore up a losing argument with a flanking maneuver, using the same trite tactic, to nations instead of gender.

Going after redheads next?

It was an analogy? I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I wasn't saying its not xenophobic, I was asking if you thought it was, and saying if you think it is then I agree it is consistent for you to then say that OP's statement was sexist. Not every discussion is an argument, don't be so defensive.
