Lack of thinking

I was just told that while I was at the elementary school yesterday, another foreigner came to the Jr. High, to help or watch a P.E. class or something. The people telling me said, "She was so beautifully foreign, and everyone thought 'Wow!' and kept looking at her."

Seems as if they didn't stop to think about how that makes me feel. What, I'm not beautiful enough? I'm somehow second rate? It was probably just that she was a new face while they have seen me many times before, but it was not phrased that way. Japanese people can be so thoughtless sometimes.
