It does matter if you’re black or white

The blatant discrimination in TEFL job ads

In Blogs: Phil Roeland - 27th May 2010

Although it is rarely mentioned in job ads, most if not all Asian recruiters on the lookout for teachers are after whities. And let’s make no mistake about it: the prize specimens are Caucasian white, not some locals having overindulged in skin-whitening products.
