Maybe that is because casual xenophobia is actually quite a deep-rooted thing, and B5 is a rather realistic universe?

It's still kind of poor form from a diplomat (which Sinclair is). We're not talking about personal feelings, this is people talking publicly, and to casual visitors, and that did bother me.

Odd, I always think of Sinclair as a military man drafted to be a diplomat. He grows into the job, of course.

Also this is not long after Ragesh 3. I imagine a lot of people weren't enthused over the Narn's conduct there.

Yes, he's definitely military.

He's got quite good at diplomacy, but he's fallible. He's not always been totally polite to the Minbari either, and that conflict is a lot longer ago than events on Ragesh 3.

In general, his behavious towards the Narn is a lot better than Londo's, who *is* supposed to be a diplomat :-)
