  • Amor Envina "ONLY AMERICAN. WHITE." - RACIST!!!. There are native English speakers who are not white, if you don't know. Oh wait! We are in Another Side of Vietnam. So, this must be something for fun?

  • Matthew Kershaw If you decide to be smarter about this post Chi, I suggest set the starting salary at $2500 usd and open the position to any qualified native speaker. You then may have a chance of getting the person you are looking for. On the other hand, if this is a joke post, no one finds it very amusing at all.

  • Nobita Nguyễn I've worked with a European who spoke like a German in one of those WW2 movies who shouldn't have any business teaching English(attitude). I've met a nice Scottish fella who has a wicked brogue who teaches English here. I've also met French people (with French accent) teaching English here. Should they have jobs teaching English? Who's to judge? The dumbass parents don't know any better but smile when they see white faces are reinforcing this problem. The fact that they get jobs teaching English doesn't bother me, it's the rate at which they're being paid irks me to know end. There's an established rate for Whites, Philippinos, and Native English speaking Vietnamese at most schools and that's racist. There are some Philipinos who have excellent English and yet they fall below white trash in remuneration. This isn't about your qualified white English teachers, so don't start trolling. What I'm advocating is a fair system that should judge and pay people according to their abilities. Until the government starts shutting down the cash transaction that takes place in a lot of these English brothels, there will always be trash in the system. 

    I still find it funny listening to Vietnamese-Australians with their kangaroo accent cursing away like a drunk sailor. They even have an endearing phrase to call their friends as "cunt", which I didn't know. That's similar to U.S. ghetto boys calling their friends as "My bitch". On second thought, maybe there should be a different rate of pay for Australians.

  • Andrew Thompson Unfortunately such blatant racism is normal here in ESL work. One of my viet kieu friends was teaching for a center and they reduced his salary without notice, because one of the parents complained that their kid didn't have a native speaker. Which obviously wasn't true.

    And this must be a joke - no foreigner with a degree, CELTA and 5 years experience would even consider working on call 7 days a week for that little. $2500 minimum, surely?

  • Greg Uc There are other white native speakers in England, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and lots of others I haven't mentioned. As far as racist goes it is Vietnam so no need for that word here. There is no political correctness here and to be honest I kind of like the blunt no bullshit way of saying what they want........Im sure a few won't like that. But that's just the way it is..

  • TQ Hoàng Thank you Nobita Nguyễn. And may I add the real problem is the ignorant parents who think as long as you're white, you're qualified to teach English? 
    Once upon a time I was looking at ESL teaching jobs abroad (just because it would help with my traveling addiction). Came across all kinds of funny stuff, but true, the most ridiculous and racist must be in Asia. If it had been in Asia, I'm pretty sure I would never have passed the interview after they knew I'm Asian and after I casually mentioned I didn't grow up in America and speak English as my first language lol.

  • Antoine Tran You're right Greg, in our countries, we cannot even say that someone is black or not otherwise we'll be considered as racist... however, writing "ONLY WHITE" is really racist. This position is not based on skills at all. If they have to choose between a black American with 10 years of teaching experience + CELTA and a white american found on Bui Vien, what would they do??

  • Greg Uc Yes I understand that Mate. But I still don't have a problem with it. I understood this was the way when I moved here. So I accept it this way in VN. Who says it is right in my country? I have PC forced on me at home. Cant say this. Can't say that. Can't ask for exactly what I am looking for. It still happens in my country it is just hidden. Asians in my country will still only hire Asians. All taxi drivers are Indian or black. It happens we just can't say it. This country has more freedom as far as im concerned. They ask for what they want regardless of hurting feelings. We all have a choice to be here or not. Im ok with it like that.
