See us running the man in - a foreigner (8)

I believe the answer is:

sudanese

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

'a foreigner' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'see us running the man in' is the wordplay.
'running' indicates an anagram (the letters run around to different places).
'the man' becomes 'dan' ().
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'see'+'us'='seeus'
'seeus' anagrammed gives 'suese'.
'suese' placed around 'dan' is 'SUDANESE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sudanese that I've seen before include "From Khartoum, perhaps" , "People in country" , "Of Khartoum, say" , "Africans" , "Sue Dean's a native of the African state" .)
