The quote means that the problem does not lie with the outsiders themselves, but with the tendency to exclude or marginalize others, creating outsiders in the first place.

The quote you're referencing suggests that the act of making someone an "outsider" is the true issue rather than the people who are deemed outsiders. It indicates a problem with the societal or group behavior of exclusion, which can manifest in discrimination, marginalization, or other forms of social rejection. The quote emphasizes that focusing on the characteristics of these so-called outsiders misses the point; instead, we should be examining the behaviors and systems that classify people as outsiders.
