In political terms, to emphasize an ethnic/foreign-sounding name (or part of a name) of a person of color as a racial dog whistle. The term comes from President Barack Obama's middle name, "Hussein", which was emphasized by conservatives in an effort to paint Obama as a secret/radical Muslim or simply "foreign", despite him being born and raised as a Christian in the US.
