Q: I guess the ethnic background makes a different in both of these cases, Right?!?

I went to go and see if I could coach a basketball team. I noticed there were not any caucasions working there only african descent and chinese assistants. So does the race card play in both cases. If you are caucasion you are better off finding a teaching job then someone from an african descent. And if you are African your best bet at finding a job is on the courts playing b-ball no matter what your level is?

I think you mean sub-Saharian African descent, because some North Africans are pretty white.

To answer your question, yes many Chinese people can only judge by physical appearance because they have been closed to the world for such a long time. So, they usually can only generalise races.

English people are initially white, so they think all whites speak native English. Most best athletes are Blacks, so they think all Blacks are better athletes.

 

You shouldn't be pointing fingers at Blacks getting coaching jobs or defending whites getting English teaching jobs, but instead try to share your unbiased knowledge with the Chinese.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
