Given his nationality and his non-arian facial features are not of the preferred variety here, his tenacity and stamina to survive in EFL, in a country whose EFL industry tends to base its assessment of expat foreign teachers on their nationality rather than on their work performance, is worthy of praise.

I've no doubt that his employer has been treating him badly, and full marks to him for posting about that.

Yes fair enough, Foxy, all should be treated with the same dignity; and if they choose to employ non native speakers in the first place, they should be treated well ,while not expecting to receive the same wage as Western FT's .

We mustn't forget that it's the parents of students who expect certain criteria, and ultimately decide how much an FT is worth. I personally don't believe an English second language FT should be worth a lot.
