I suspect that schools who want white faces are mostly making a purely business decision, from what I have read Korean parents want to see a white face "teaching" their children so the school owners almost always ask for a photo with your job application.

As to why American or Canadian white faces are better than Australian (cries softly) or British faces it is because Koreans have more contact with North American businesses etc than with British or Antipodean ones, and assume American English is more relevant.

My question, I am just over 40 and an Australian citizen, how happy would I be working for someone who wanted a 23 year-old Canadian woman? Better to take their prejudices in stride and look for a job where I will be appreciated.
