I should add to my just-sent reply to you, that even if you do have(unlikely) racially accepting, fair-minded Chinese students in a school, their parents are not going to be the same and parents do put in their shillings-worth regarding FT's and what they think they should look like. They can quite easily take their little bundles of joy elsewhere if they feel they are not getting good service They may well think that a Filipino doesn't hit the spot compared to cool green-eyed dude from Pennsylvania, even if he's called Spellbound and severely challenged in the English department.

I feel we should not be clouding our minds with things beyond are capabilities of dealing with. We have not come to China on a Martin Luther King Pilgrimage.
