We could distinguish more between your categories of "purely economic competition" and "cultural competition". I'm not sure you should reduce the latter as a mere superstructure of the economic basis.
For instance, take the evolution of the French Far right.
In the 80's, Jean-Marie Le Pen & the Front National used your category of economic competition racism. They claimed immigrants would increase unemployment.
They don't really use that argument anymore in the 2000's (although I've heard a few arguments about the impact on low wages).
Now Marine Le Pen use your category of distrust more than envy. Immigrants are more criticized as "cultural aliens" who become a cultural competition.
The alleged problem was displaced from the economic concern. It is now supposed to be food prohibitions, street prayers or women's rights. For instance, retired people, who do not have the same anguish of "economic competition", can be attracted by the "cultural competition" argument.
It was very interesting.
