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:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
