Or is this only a "dirty non-white" racial thing?

Yep. Coupled with the rabid fear of The Others that is a lynchpin of right-wing authoritarian thinking.

"Locke was born on January 21, 1950 in Seattle, Washington. A third-generation American"

If Locke is Chinese, Ronald Reagan was Irish. We are a nation of immigrants. Except Locke isn't an immigrant. He's the grandson of an immigrant. He's a U.S. citizen from birth. He has never in his life been Chinese (or a "Chinaman" as the OP put it, employing an old racist pejorative). He has served as governor of Washington and as Secretary of Commerce. To call him a security risk because his grandfather was Chinese is nothing but racist crap.

And that's what this entire thread is: racist crap.
