It's all about context. In some contexts, "Waiguoren" can simply mean a foreigner, but in a hostile context it's a "polite" way of calling someone barbaric...sortof like how, in the Southern US, saying something is "nice" or "cute" in certain tones of voice can indicate that it's actually hideous, but you're being too polite to say so outright.
