OP said,

> I grew up being called Gwailo, Gaijin, Auslander, and when I finally returned to the anglosphere in my early teens, I was still an outsider as I spoke with a weird accent and was by that point a through-and-through third culture kid. I got the crap bullied out of me

I don't see any value in accepting this behavior. What harm is there in trying to eliminate it?

Because someone somewhere will use the framework and legal precedents you create to eliminate other behavior. Which may happen to be behavior you approve of.
