Im not inclined to think that East Asian colonial racism would neccesarily be the same.
Racism as we know it in the European era, as others have pointed out, was very political and circumstantial.
So for example, John Locke (if memorry serves, I may have the wrong person) wrote works on the philosophy of property which conveniantly supported his own colonial holdings in the US. In many ways, it was the justification used by Locke and later the US to take away land and property from the native americans as they were not taken as "using" that property, when in reality they just had a different standard of property.
In particular, this was something of a death knell for Nomadic groups, with both Russia and the US gaining considerable resources and land without any of the common political treatment (i.e. declaring war) and instead through defending expansion into Nomadic lands as if they were not used, violently.
If say China is the dominant figure in such a colonial era, its going to have a very different response to such scenarios. Namely, Chinese political power was tied up in diplomatic recognition of nomadic groups untill the Russians signed the death knell of Eurasian Nomadic life.
If I had to guess, Chinese colonialism of the Americas would be a lot more mercantile and (for lack of a better term) Feudal. Chinese immigrants would of course exist, but I imagine that like with the Steppes peoples, the Native Americans would be propped up, used as pawns and expected to pay tribute as opposed to directly conquering the lands themselves.
