I would think what makes it racist is the apparent mindset behind the words, even if the words themselves don't fit your conceived notion, i.e. "go back to china because you don't belong here because you're not white and can't tell me what to do, and I do belong here."

It's not about whether the guy is from China or Korea or Laos or anywhere else.
