Why for a non-mongoloid/non-yellow foreigner it's impossible to be accepted and to feel like 100% Chinese

 I'd like to write about this topic: "Why the non-yellow (non-mongoloids) can't completely become Chinese nowadays" or "Why for a non-mongoloid/non-yellow foreigner it's impossible to be accepted and to feel like 100% Chinese".
 Years ago, I thought that because in China there are some white (Caucasian) or almost white (almost Caucasian) -- for example: Russian minority, Tatar minority, Tajik minority..., it's not very difficult for some foreigner, who belongs to the white/Caucasian race to get completely naturalized in China and to feel himself/herself as a Chinese man/Chinese woman, and to be recognized as Chinese by the Chinese.
 Now, after years living in China, I realized that it's impossible -- no matter how good is your Chinese language and how well you know the Chinese culture, history, news, etc. (i.e. no matter your Chinese language and other Chinese knowledge), you're not going to be considered as a Chinese in China, if you're a foreigner.
 For those, who originally knew it (or just never doubt about it), that non-yellow/non-mongoloid can't completely become a naturalized Chinese, this essay will be nothing new. It's something new for those, who believe that even they're not yellow (mongoloids), then if they love China and all Chinese stuff enough, and speak Chinese, and know well the Chinese culture, then they may Chinanize so well, that can feel themselves Chinese and the Chinese persons to feel them as Chinese.
 Here are the reasons:
 1. Obviously, in China there are no black (Negroids) native Chinese. There are darker (dark-yellow) Chinese (and Chinese minorities), but no exactly black (Negroids).
 2. Yes, there are some white (Caucasian) or almost white (Caucasians with some mongoloidness) as the mentioned above Russian minority, Tatar minority, Tajik minority and some other members of other minorities (like some Uigurs, Uzbeks), but as a percentage they're small, and most of them are living in North-East China, not evenly spreaded around China.
 2.1. These Chinese (Chinese people from non-Han Chinese origin /more about the Han Chinese: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_Chinese/; the biggest ethnic group in China is the Han Chinese) for many of the other (Han Chinese and other non-Han Chinese minorities) are considered as 'minorities' (they are), 'non-Chinese' (which is not true, because they're Chinese citizens) or even 'strangers'. In this situation, in the best case (if you're a white or semi-white foreigner, who wants to be a Chinese) Chinese (sometimes) may think you're an Uigur or just a Xinjiangese, because many Chinese are not clear about what minorities are living in Xinjiang (I, personally, met Chinese, who never heard about the Tatar minority in China, for example.)
 3. Well, even in your neighborhood (or around your colleagues) there are Chinese people, who think you're one of them -- a Chinese (or a semi-Chinese), most of the Chinese who you meet outside of these circles (on the street, in the supermarket, in the market, on the public transportation, etc.) are going to think they you're just a foreigner and saying: "Hello!", "Hi!" (all in English), "Privet!" ("Привет!" is the Russian for "Hello!"), if you're in some region, where there are Russians and other Russian citizens; kids, teenagers and elder people, too, may say/shout that you're a: "laowai" ("foreigner" in Chinese), Meiguo-ren ("American person" in Chinese) or something else foreign-related like Englishman, Russian, etc. They're staring at you, pointing to you... all this inevitably leaves the feeling (and confirms it) that you're  a non-Chinese, they think you're a non-Chinese, you're a foreigner. (This has its bad and its good sides, but it's another topic.)     
 I suppose there is the same situation in other countries with mono-racial population, so China isn't unique about it, but I believe this topic is useful.
