All countries and communities have idiosyncratic names for people not indigenous to that area. If you want to be part of the local community then you must accept their customs, manners and habits I am Caucasian and will never be mistaken for a local. If people want to refer to me as laowei I am not offended but I sometimes (tongue in cheek) point out that I am not Laowai, I am English, therefore cannot be a foreigner. it usually starts the confusion which leads on to a good humored debate. To me Laowai does not mean alien or foreigner, it means different and yes I am different If you don't want to be a lao wai the answer is simple, go back where you came from and get a life.
