In response to Passports and skin colour are all-important (Jack Kanoi)
I think it depends on the people within the city you go to whether or not non-traditional (by Chinese standards) native english speakers are accepted. I know people from India and Africa who have taught or currently teach in my current home city, so it can be done, you just have to find the right environment. Really, the schools should do oral interviews with potential teachers, anyway. I had to take over 2 classes from an Australian teacher and couldn't understand the kids at all because his accent was very thick. I know other Australians and understand them fine, but this teacher's accent was out there.
