But it is. (Kinda.) If you don't look East-Asian in China, the predominant assumption is that you're an "expat". And statistically this is almost always true -- Chinese nationality is extremely hard to obtain if you're not born with it, and probably 99% of Chinese nationals look East Asian and has East Asian ethnicity.

Sure, because China basically allows no immigration, but that's not what the OP was referring to, he's complaining about privileged white people and their use of the terms.
