i saw the following post in the jobs vacant section. I have a dilemma - you see I'm actually African American but due to the fact that I have a genetic malfunction (i.e. I'm an albino) my skin is actually white. Now, will I get paid rmb5000 because I'm really black or rmb6000 because i appear to be white? then there's another conundrum - as an African American, my native language is English, so would i be paid rmb8000?
What qualities are important in a teacher? Ability or mere appearances (well, i actually know the answer to that in China).
this sort of advertisement, indeed moreso the employer and the cultural values, is quite sickening.

Nice find! Unfortunately, those hiring practices seem to be accepted in many Asian ESL markets.

On the other hand, I don't have to accept those kinds of ads as it's my site. I will delete it shortly.
