Not to derail but I think the Islam/racism against brown people is more tied together than some give it credit for, if only because dumbass racists tend to think that brown = Islam. When a terrorist attack happens or something else drives up anti-Islamic sentiment, it's not Indonesian and Filipino Muslims who end up targeted by Western bigots.
