Appalling to see that this country is so ignorant and backwards regarding race. When recruiting ESL teachers, only whites need apply. This is not a country that should be leading the free world, on any level. Makes one wonder what level of ignorance immigrants from China bring to this country regarding race?

One reason why I say African Americans whine too much. Most of the world is unabasedly racist. Actually to be more accurate they respect power and achievement. As far as the Chinese are concerned Blacks haven't created or done anything that demands their respect.

The Chinese are being practical, if they want to learn English why would they want to be taught by someone who speaks Ebonics?

But here is a question. I'm Black, I don't speak Ebonics. In fact, I have basically been pegged as the "White" Black guy. How is going off of stereotype going to help ME(keyword ME)?? Yes I sound selfish, but at the end of the day, I get affected, not the stereotyping party. It might sound like complaining to you, but I feel like if I don't fit the stereotype, I shouldn't be stereotyped.

1. Why do you care what another country does? That's part of our problem we're always sticking our nose in somebody else's business.

2. If china is a backwards country, then what does that make us? China is the one who is financing our broke government.

3. China is not a free country, so why would they care about leading the "free world"

4. China is going to be running the world pretty soon and they're going to do it their way and they don't give a damn who doesn't like it.

I see a lack of faux outrage on here. I guess to the lefties, especially so the establishment left and the establishment blogosphere, "oh well China is a sovereign country that, uhhhhh, can do what it wants, if it's uhhhhh in their best interest" meanwhile an eastern European country does the same "Burn them at the stake! We want sanctions!"

More of that liberal thinking that everyone must do as they are told and not be allowed free association.

The Chinese can set any job requirements they want since they are doing the hiring and paying the salary.

I now live in South Korea. As I can see for many years, it seems to be pretty same situation here. I know some ESL teachers from different countries, and yes, they are all white. Maybe, by law, there is no discrimination, but owners of Korean language schools (hugwons) just do not hire black teachers.
