Sadly the first step in China is about face (white=good, black=bad, latino= what's that?). As you I'm still trying to make my own path in China, just finished my first year, teaching as you in a kindergarten in Hunan, at the first I had this problems (from the parents: Where is he from?, He doesn't look foreigner (I'm Mexican)). And finally today I heard a mommy talking with the other english teacher (she is chinese), this mommy said, -we went to see a demo class from a foreigner but we like our kindergarten the most-, so maybe I made a little progress. It's hard being a non-native and non-white, thanks god, things had been going nice here, not a big city, not crowdy, not expensive, not a fast rythm of life. I liked this article, made my remind the way I got here.
