Yes, someone has actually made this argument. The article has been written by Jeff Yang and appeared a while ago in the San Francisco Chronicle. Here's the link:
Could Obama be the first Asian American president?
To be honest I am not entirely surprised or taken aback with this argument. I have found a similar tendency in South Asian American blogs to "reclaim" Obama as "one of us" based on his immigrant experience and "funny name."

I was actually offended by the article especially towards the end when he speaks about "values". When you make such racist assertions, you lose you audience.
