Why do you accuse the original poster of being arrogant, because he mentioned that some Chinese students prefered to have him and his friends teaching because they were black?

He was just stating a fact through personal experience. As has been stated many times, Chinese schools and students have the right to choose whoever they want to teach them. If they prefer blacks as opposed to whites, which they do on ocassion that's up to them. The students are paying the money, and the school is a business, so they will employ whoever they think will bring in more students. Of course if they prefer whites, which they more often do that's also their right.

Many whites have previously quite correctly stated that they have been prefered and popular, because of their colour. Does that mean they were being arrogant too, or just stating a well known fact?

I have personally seen a few schools actually asking specifically for black or African teachers. Is that racism, or are the schools just exercising their rights?

When I read "Black Roses" post, I didn't see arrogance, but a guy trying to inform people that, whatever your race there are opportunities for many people to have a sucessful time working and teaching in China.
