Odd, never heard any white teacher say that but fair enough. Here was me thinking white was, er, white? I suppose there are probably paler whiter people than you though eh...so it is all objective? Some people like suntanned skin, others do not....hence the umbrellas chinese females carry!!! lol

I still think a well qualified teacher from a commonwealth country can teach english just as well as a white teacher who may well be alcoholic and lazy and not give one hoot about his or her students....and yes I have actually met a alcoholic white american from texas who told me he hates chinese kids...yet he has a chinese wife and son...go figure?!
