In old Chinese kung fu films, why are the British portrayed as the bad guys?

When I watch these films, they always show a British police officer acting like a douche to the Chinese or showing their corruption by letting crime run wild or through money laundering schemes. Is this historically accurate or do Chinese filmmakers simply paint a bad picture around white foreigners in particular?

Forgive my ignorance as I'm not really up to speed on Chinese history and culture. I only specified British people because a majority of the Chinese films I watch often portray a British person acting like this, but I've seem some American cameos here and there.

I also searched online for an explanation on this and I literally couldn't find one answer to this question surprisingly.
