On the other hand, racism could be born from a familiarity.
Such as the familiarity of a bad customer.
Any establishment has the right to refuse service to anyone.

Good point and I'd like to add that the Far East still has the power to refuse these 'customers'. White America has lost it due to it's own past cruelty and now, as the wheels so often turn, will begin to experience the pains of the other side pouring upon them. |

This varies from school to school.
I imagine schools in cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, which are crawling with foreigners, would have no problem taking their pick of "young and attractive whities". Schools in rural or near-rural areas that are desperate for foreign teachers, on the other hand, would probably take anyone from anywhere just to say they had a foreign teacher.
There was a group of foreigners in Harbin last time I visited that was full of "volunteer" English teachers. They had paid something like 4000 pounds to become a volunteer and take an ESL course, yet not a single one was a "whitey" from an English speaking country. Most of them were Europeans, middle Eastern or African. They were all going to near-rural areas. |
