This racism thing has been going on for donkey years in China.
I had the same experience a few years back when I was in Wuhan. A new language school sent me an email and invited me over to the school. When I arrived there were six others and we were ushered to have lunch with the owner. We were having a nice conversation when the owner told us that he was looking for 6 foreign teachers. We were shocked when he said "Our school is only looking for white native English Speakers from Europe (France, Germany, Sweden etc. )
The seven of us looked at each other and started laughing. What the owner didn't know was that the seven of us met once during a Xmas party a few months back.
The owner had a rude shock when the seven of us stood up, toasted him and walked ( 2 American guys, an Aussie, a British lady, an African, a French lady and me).
The best part was of it all was when the French lady said " A toast to your Native English speakers from Germany, Sweden and to my native English speaking France"
