There's a difference in this and the comment that I was responding to from San migs. Namely that he was describing how the PRC i.e. the state would view your official nationality. Of course that won't affect how a person on the street might perceive you.
In regards your example, it does of course work the other way too. ABCs or BBCs are commonly mistaken for Chinese and employers at both public and private schools tend to avoid employing them because they have a Chinese face.
Without seeking to go over ground that we have already covered I'd also suggest that these kind of things are not unique to the Chinese. for example in the uk it is common to hear people use the term Pakis even though that person may be a 3rd generation Brit and their family migrated from India, Bangladesh or another country that wasn't Pakistan.
