Well, I encouraged my school, successfully, to employ an Indian teacher.
But then her English was excellent. |

| Well, let me add to the 3.6 kilos of postings on this topic by saying that it is like a Caucasian teaching Chinese in Australia. Its all about perception. |

If you cross an Asian with what you call a "Caucasian" what are you going to get? Eurasian, right? So why use such an outmoded and incorrect term?
The white face syndrome is alive and well but it is not always active; some employers look at the cost per unit, and have decided to hire Filippinos or Indians, and you can't tell me these employers are making mistakes! A Filippino earning 4000 in China must be a much happier person than a Filippina working for a Hong Kong-Chinese family as their domestic helper earning just under RMB 4000! |

And they sure as hell won't be working an 80 hour week either. |

| I had a "white" person teach me Spanish in college, so why not a "white" person teaching Chinese? (but I get your point) |

All the teaching in my school is Asian. As far as Asian teachers teaching English, well there are about 25 Asian teachers here who are all actually Chinese. I'm the only one that is not. |
