The blatant fact is that if you aren't caucasian, your chances of getting hired as an English teacher is very slim. Almost as good as nil. Your American degree has absolutely no bearing to your chances of making it in Japan as an English teacher.

Ironically, if you're a caucasian (or black American), doesn't matter if you a Dutch, Scot, Swede, your chances of getting hired is much better. Of course, the highest priority are reserved for Americans and Brits.

Like it or not, but that's the whole truth, nothing but the truth....
