I've seen a lot of what you're talking about, both in Korea and in Taiwan--discrimination against Asians from English-speaking countries. Recently, my former boss here in Taiwan told me by e-mail that she was looking for a new foreign teacher. I told her about a person who came to the U.S. from Taiwan in early childhood and who possessed native-speaker fluency and was good with kids. She e-mailed back that she was looking for a white person.

I'm at a loss for words about that, except to say that it doesn't make sense.

Have you considered looking for jobs teaching TOEIC and TOEFL? Also, if you're fluent in an Asian language, have you thought about looking for editing, writing, and translating jobs?
