I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'foreigner' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'a point he and i misconstrued' is the wordplay.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'misconstrued' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'point'+'he'+'i'='apointhei'
'apointhei' anagrammed gives 'ETHIOPIAN'.

'making' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ethiopian that I've seen before include "African national" , "Citizen of north-east African state" , "from African country" , "From, eg, Addis Ababa" , "found in Addis Ababa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
