you mentioned that you've been here for 7 years already, right? it might not just be about race/passport/mother tongue, but depending on your prospective jobs, age.
having young foreign teachers can sometimes play out well for schools, and it can be good for advertising. i know at my school, all the foreign teachers are in their mid-twenties to early-thirties. and i've heard rumors that a man with a phd came this summer to interview with them, but he was turned down because of his age. Confused

Stories from a simpler time when there was no Politically correctness, and the only answer to "Which is the better race" came down to simply "Who has the biggest and the mostest guns!"

A beer to the first one with the guts to show their age and provide the correct answer without googling.
