Not true, I worked as an English teacher at Nova with a Korean born American

Well, there you have it. The person that you mentioned is, like you said, a Korean born
AMERICAN. No matter how excellent he's english might be, I'll bet he wouldn't be hired if he's a Korea born Korean.
Also, among all the English teachers at Nova, how many percentage would you put non-caucasians at? 30%? 10%? or 1%?
Look, I'm not trying to put off
yoshimi or any other non-caucasian trying to break into the competitive but racially-biased Japan on how they view english teachers. It has to be Native Speakers. That's the only criteria. Nothing else matters. They don't even require a college degree in order to be one. Once I heard there was a lady from India who held a Masters Degree in English and had years of experience in teaching English in her country but could not find a teaching position in Japan. Dissappointed, she left Japan.
I'm just providing them the facts and not to put too high hopes on this route should they intend to be one. But then again, there's always an exception. Like I put it earlier, it is slim, but that doesn't meant zero chance.....just slim chance. Who knows.....
