It's much easier for an East Asian person to become integrated into a Western society than the other way around.

You can live in Japan/China/Korea for decades, be married and have children with a local, and speak the language fluently and people will still call you a foreigner to your face.

You can be born in a western country as an East Asian and still also be called a foreigner and asked where are you really from

Yes, you can.

But it's not as prevalent.
