| Racism and ESL teaching in China | ||
| We all understand that the ESL stuff in China is a form of business. The ESL business has taken a different twist so much so that physical appearance and other body qualities all have a role to play in the trade. As we all understand,teaching is an art that has nothing to do with color, physical looks and others. Well, what remains green out here in China is that, if you are a white and of course good looking, you are qualified and welcomed to teach in China. Recently I have been teaching with some teachers whom I don`t wanna make known their nationalities for personal reasons. They really have no idea of what teaching is all about.Not that I`m discrediting the White teachers for the good job they are doing, but some are just out for the money.Well,thank God they are whites and are therefore, qualified to continue teaching in China. Just like I mentioned earlier, color is one of the prerequisites to pick up a teaching job out here in China. Therefore if you are a black teacher no matter your nationality, you are not really welcomed in China. What a curse race as many others say. All the same I`m a proud black teacher and believe me am doing a good job out here. I currently teach in a University in China with an American and a Canadian teacher. Following different comments from students I`m a more qualified Esl teacher that the others. But where do we go viewing that I`m black.No matter what people say about black skin people/teachers I think its just kind of racism and not that the teachers are not qualified. We are very much qualified and I for one I`m proud of the job am doing out here. I was just kind of going through some adverts for schools looking for teachers, and was dismayed when I read some, from some pocket racist written in bold "that if you are not white don`t apply". Shame to some of these "insane racist" that even in a civilize world racism still remains the order of the day in our society of today. Well those schools who really need those white teachers should go give birth to them and employ them.I keep seeing some ads over the net for months looking for white skin teachers. Surprising that some of their specification are still to be met. Make your money quietly but don`t discredit some nationalities because of their color for we never know. Well we are talking of a global society free of all kinds of vices and not that some people should rekindle the flame of racism because they wanna attrack more students because of… Feel free to contact me maryntui@yahoo.com |
