I think it depends on if you have a Chinese parent or grandparent?

I'm partially descended from orientals that crossed the Bering land bridge thousands of years ago. Does that count?

My mom's grandfather was a spirit-chinese does that count?

If there was a competition that was held for "whites" only, it would be deemed racist. 

Racist.

If this was a competition for blacks only, you wouldn't dare make that comparison.

Racist.

Plenty of competitions are restricted by nationality, domicile, ethnicity, gender, sex, and/or religion, and others are restricted by economic/social/cultural background in fact if not in name. (For instance, this competition being posted in English on a website that may or may not be actually accessible from China already excludes a large portion of the Chinese population.) As competitions are private events run by private organisations that is their prerogative. If you don't like it you can write them a letter or something.

I'll refrain from slamming my head against the desk, but just know that the thought is there.
