These comments posted by this Fred guy is symbolic of most if not all businesses and many public education sectors' attitudes towards a laowai, be they with a white face, a brown face, or even an Asian face. These employers sincerely believe that since they're paying you your salary then YOU absolutely have NO RIGHT to think for yourself. You can only TAKE what they dictate to you and accept it at full face value. They EXPECT you to let them take this for granted. It pretty much summarizes the ignorant, disgusting mindset of the employers.

They don't care if you are from a foreign country. In fact from what I have understood with the attitudes of these employers is that since you are flying all the way here from a foreign country it's because you couldn't "cut it" or "make it" in your own country. While I had met my fair share's worth of misfits in China while working there I have also met plenty of decent people. It's unfortunate that just because there were some laowai that these employers "heard about" making trouble in China they can then generalize it to the entire population of expats.

Fred, you are a disgrace to your culture. You should be ashamed of saying such things. You're words sound like something that a child of a Horse and a Donkey would say. Which animal that is would be something that you should spend time looking up but I'll answer for you anyway, it's spelled A, S, S.

I, too was contacted by "Xiao Lin" last year around June of 2009 while I was on one of my adventures in Dongbei with the Korean American owned school in Shenyang when I was contacted by this school. The mental loops that this school played with me to both entice and intimidate me even before I EVER considered going there truly will not make me forget this experience. I suppose adding my two cents on this post will show everyone how badly this school needs people yet will treat you like garbage even during the interviewing process. It's truly remarkable that they even got away with doing this for so long.
