The notion that white people are automatically foreign, that white people = non-Chinese, and that only people of a certain ethnicity are Chinese (to the point where the term "Chinese" itself is used as a term ethnicity, such as "ABC") is at the very least nationalistic, right in line with groups like the British National Party (the BNP hold that only white, ethnically British people are truly able to be British, and all other races can only be foreigners living in Britain. That's not any different from the view that only yellow, ethnically Han Chinese can be considered really Chinese, and other races are just foreigners living in China). It would be as insulting as calling blacks in the United States "foreigners" because they aren't the right ethnicity. Now, there are people who consider Obama not really American, but those people are fringe racists, recognized as extreme-right nationalists. In China, it's the norm to think of people as being Chinese or "foreign" based on color.
