I think Dorn was also hyper xenophobic as well. If I recall correctly (please correct me if Im wrong or if you remember the book ) one time the Imperial Fist came across a human planet whose inhabitants altered themselves by using alien DNA in order to survive from a virus. They were 100% on board with joining the Imperium as well and all this alteration did was slighty change their smell to the point it was barely noticeable. However once T.I.F. learned that they had xeno DNA in them they straight up slaughtered everyone on the planet. They even got congratulated by the Custodes for a job well done.

[@anotter321]

That might have been after dorn if I remember. I not sure though so you and me are in a similar boat

On Caldera, there were humans who lived together with the Exodite Eldar in coexistence. Which Vulkan took it personally when he saw that and lit the entire planet on fire.
