I believe any educated English speaking person that has some teaching experience can teach English .I'm an African and have had fun teaching and living in China for two years. There're some so-called money making schools in Asia that think Africans are not and can never be good irregardless of their qualifications or experiences, and they even prefer to hire some non-English speaking Europeans even if they don't understand English well. My advice to other dealing with such schools is play low and forget about them. Follow your instinct, apply to as many schools as possible, and if you have the means, do some recognized TEFL course. China is a huge country and there will always be something for everyone. I've been teaching for the two years I've lived in this country and I got all the offers on my own, so you don't really need those recruiters or racist schools, all you need is to be strong, focused and remember that those racists can't bring you down.

God be with you all, better days shall come when all discriminations will stop.
