This is answer to Whiteman's very astute observations.
Nonetheless, perhaps it a blessing in disguise so to speak.
Both of the employers that he mentions as "white-only" are extremely problematic employers and a search of the Web and of www.englischoolwatch.org would turn up a entire list of complaints about Rewi, in any case. There have been also numerous about the second.
Let it pass -- there are still many, many decent jobs in ESL in China. I should know -- I had two terrible ones, and now a third very nice one. Many China veterns have had the same experience. But then again, I had the same experience in Canada. Jobs are like marriages -- not all work and many end in divorce.
