I think that it's interesting to look at several different overseas Chinese communities in the English speaking world... In Australia and Great Britain, Chinese immigrants were deported in a very draconian and cruel way at great human cost even to the white people who formed families with them. Then you look at the US, which had been trying to keep Chinese immigrants out since the 1880s with its Chinese exclusion act. The Chinese American community was organized, understood that it was under attack, and lawyered up... This combined with Birthright citizenship, the fourteenth amendment's equal protection clause, and the US government storing all of its Chinese exclusion act related documentation in San Francisco (which burned down after an earthquake) led to more humane outcomes.

I used to wonder why the Chinese from way back in history used to call those non-Chinese barbarians. I thought it was a racist bent of the Chinese. Strange thing was, from a young age, I did not see much of this racism from the Chinese towards non-Chinese, at least not at the level the Chinese suffered by others, including other Asians. I lived with this confused image for a long time. In time, growing up in singapore and having the opportunity to travel widely all over the world, and reading copiously on the Chinese diaspora all over the world through history, I realised and came to the conclusion, that most Chinese had this attitude of keeping their noses out of the limelight, flying under the radar, because they prefered to keep working and avoiding conflict. Compared to other Asians in these far away places, they seemed to be easy game because of their preference to keep a more passive profile, a more civilised way of living life. I came to believe it must have been this preference of passivity in the face of conflict, to keep nose to the grindstone, to endure the hardship, because even the worst circumstances will eventually pass. And it all did. Just look at the now famous Sun Tzu art of war to gain some clarity of this preference for the peaceful and passive approach. All this convinced the Chinese, who had evolved socially to such a collective mindset, that those others who are always filled with conflict and bent on violence as barbarians. And to this day, we see the different approaches in social context at every level, differentiates a Chinese mind from others.
