I should say whoa to you! Way to go for misunderstanding my reasoning and taking quick offence.

I wasn't in anyway insinuating that you were a miserable git. The point I was trying to make was that schools or Chinese people in general are not going to go gaga over a teacher or person just because they are white, if they find an individual miserable or surly. Likewise a black teacher or person is not going to be disliked just beacuse they are black, provided both are able to spend time getting to know Chinese people.

Sorry, maybe I'm not explaining it very well.

The point is, generally once the ice has been broken, whatever your colour, Chinese people's warming to you will be based on your personality and how much effort you take to build a rapport with them. "You " is a figure of speech. I don't mean you personally. Comprehende?

Me, an "Uncle Tom"? Ha ha ha!
