 Re: Asian ESL Teacher
With regards to Russia, EnglishteacherX is absolutely right. There is a lot of racist unpleasantness in Russia. A very experienced teacher I know, but of Indian ancestry, was being courted by a school in Moscow and had just started a video interview with the school; the interview stopped immediately they saw his face. Mind you, I think the school did him a favour. Another British-Asian I know finished his degree in Russian at a Russian university, but was glad to return to England, as he never felt safe in the evenings by himself.
I think I'd try another country if I was not white, indeed if I was even slightly darker than a typically nordic type. Sorry. |
