Say you have a guy that happens to look Asian but he dresses American and sounds like an American, if he goes to a foreign country will he be treated like an American just like a White guy would he be treated like someone who is not an American?

American tourist will get treated as American tourist.
It depends. I think a lot of people here would treat African Americans, Blacks form Africa and Blacks from the Caribbean differently. African Americans would just be seen as American IMO.
Depends on the country, IME. I'm Asian Australian, but since i speak with an Australian accent most people know and treat me just like an Australian, except some Asians in Asia who sometimes even refuse to believe me when I tell them I'm Australian...it's like they can't wrap their heads around it.
Whenever I'm abroad, I'm always judged based on my ethnicity first. As soon as they find out my nationality or that I could speak their language, their stance changes.

What is your ethnicity or 'race' if I may ask? Since Singapore is 'multiracial'.
I am a Canadian of Indian heritage. Canada is my home, but not all Canucks see it that way. Anyway, that's neither here not there.
When I travel to Europe, which is fairly often, I usually tell them I'm Canadian and people accept it for what it is. Actually, some people find it more intriguing if I say I'm from India. Either way, they don't bat an eye. Telling them I'm Canadian brings out jokes about Montreal and poutine, while telling them I'm Indian brings questions about Hinduism and the caste system.
But IN Canada, people always ask me the irritating question "but where are you really from?" like only white people can be considered true Canadians.
So to answer your question, Canada is the country where I feel most uncomfortable saying I'm Canadian.
