Laowai, is the term offensive?

It doesn't happen too often to our face - what happens the most is people screaming (literally) "laowai" in the street or sometimes people will talk to my wife and mention me as laowai. At first it was funny, I kind of felt like a rock star. Then I wanted to be left alone, after all I'm just another guy! The one thing that really bothers me though is when I am in France and I hear Chinese calling French people "laowai".
