There's a category of bitter white immigrant in Asia who, despite speaking the local language or marrying a local, refuse to actually integrate into local society because they think its "weird" or "beneath them". It's not an issue of the CEE CEE PEE being evil and oppressive because you see the same dynamic play out in Japan, Korea, Thailand, the Philippines, etc, etc.

A lot of them are white dudes from white countries who have never had to deal with being "the other" at any previous point in their life so they're hyper vigilant and perceive normal interactions as microaggressions. Offered a fork instead of chopsticks? Racism! People looking at them on the street? Racism! Being told they speak the language well? You guess it, Racism!
