I have been applying for teaching positions in many Asian countries and have had little or no luck. The only one to reply was a Korean school, however, I was told that they are only looking for caucasian teachers. I am Filipino-American and was disappointed to hear this. I was posting this message to find out how common this is. I am still very interested in teaching abroad, but I want to know if I'm applying for these positions in vain. Is it just this particular place that is looking for Caucasian teachers? Is it Korea? Or, is it any Asian country? If someone could please respond, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, if this is just a rare case, maybe you could point me in the right direction. I am interested in going to many places. (Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong) Thank you.

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) said it analyzed employment application forms used by 34 conglomerates and four state firms last year. "We found all 38 companies' application papers contained at least four discriminatory items that have little relation to an applicant's qualifications or the purpose of employment, such as their physical condition or family backgrounds," the commission said in a statement. The NHRC said the Korean firms' recruitment practices also seem to be unfair when compared with the guidelines set by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

Unless your passport says you are Filipino-born. Not to say you shouldn't be proud of your heritage; but lying about it is not as bad as the thought/action of someone who wouldn't hire you because of where one of your parents is from.

I got bombarded with tons of job offers, begging me to "choose" them for work. When I sent them my resume and degree, they all wanted to hire me. But once I sent them my picture, all of a sudden they no longer had an interest in me. They either claimed work was not available yet or simply outright did not get back to me. Being black, I have faced nothing but pure discrimination. I am eager to go to Korea but I have not had success. But I know some blacks have been successful in getting teaching jobs in Korea. Problem is I do not know most of them personally, and only found out through secondary sources. The one light skinned black I know who did get a teaching job in Korea, told me the agency that hired him no longer exists. All I can say as another discriminated native English speaker of color, keep trying. Eventually someone will accept both of us for our credentials and qualifications, irrespective of our race. I suggest trying China. I already have an offer to teach in China (a white man interviewed me and hired me) but I'd prefer to go to Korea since there is more pay. I may just go to China and from there try applying directly to Korea. The best thing to do is to go through a school run by Americans or Canadians. All schools run by Asians tend to want white people only, especially white females with blond hair.

Excuse my generalization, but everyone here gets their ideas about westerners from the American movies, tv and music videos they see. And since they overwhelmingly see white people, they want to see white people teach their kids. When they see blacks represented, they see people behind bars or thugged out gangsta rappers. Who wants a thug-gangsta teaching their kids? So the bosses give the moms what they want to see: The whitest of white...The Backstreet Boys. I think the one thing anyone coming over here must realize is that they are not here to teach. They are here for show. It's all based on the presentation. If you're not thin, white and good-looking, dont bother trying to get into a well established school. They dont want you.

Don't they watch the news and know who Colin Powell is? They can't be that daft that the only blacks they know of are the Tu Paks and Biggie Smalls of the world? I can't understand why a black man in a suit and a tie, is not as good as a white? Nonetheless I know of blacks that have gone over to teach, so obviously some schools are willing to look past race and look only at qualifications and background. Either way, I can't umnderstand why they are crying out for Native English teachers, yet they are picky and choosy over who they teach. For every black candidate they turn down, that's a loss of potential students who want to learn English. I believe if you dress well, are polite and open minded, and carry yourself aristocratically and scholarly, the students will respect you regardless of race or gender.

Take a look in North America. White people fear blacks. They really fear black men wearing FUBU, rapping about their nine. Now, imagine you live in a country where you stand more of a chance seeing a Yeti than a black man who isnt one of them well-loved US Soldiers or a black man on TV wearing FUBU, rapping about his nine. I agree, black folks should be judged on their abilities. But they're not back home, and they're especially not here. Then again it's getting harder to get a job as a male here, let alone a black one. They want women only these days. I figure because they feel women teachers will be easier to bully around, but that's just me.

I am caucasion, so it hasn't been an issue for me, but I have observed that there are very few blacks in the ESL field, which is a loss for the field in my opinion. I taught and wrote for a publisher in Korea for a total of seven years back in the early 90's. Have taught in several other countries. Same story all along regarding "minorities." The other story though has to do with age; our field is a young one overseas. Unless you are in with the school already, an older teacher starts seeing opportunities slip away with each year added to his DOB (date of birth) answer. I am currently teaching in Saudi Arabia. The university I am with is quite large and we do happen to have one black teacher here who is British, I believe. I think the staff here would welcome an application from you. We've got British, American (caucasions only so far), Irish, Australians, New Zealanders, and several teachers from South Africa (white, though). The students are being exposed to all these different English accents; I am sure an African-American accent, if you have it, would be just another in the mix, and welcomed. Email me if you'd like to think about it. The pay is great (better than Korea, really), time off is great (lots of paid vacation). Just got to put up with region and its quarks! I'm here for the experience, (and boy are we having an experience these days!) and will leave after just one year. While it is challenging, I find it quite a valuable professional development experience. Give it some thought.

I don't know how it happened. If you have an American passport, you should be able to do it too. As the African-American guy said, try the American and/or Canadian schools. There is a significantly higher chance of getting hired there. I've met Chinese-Americans, Indian-Canadians, African-Americans, Ethiopian-British, etc., etc... they are all here.. I do significantly see more caucasian foreigners.. but its also a reflection of our society. As much as we'd like to say that North America is purely multicultural and everything else.. and while sure it is in places - Vancouver, New York, Toronto, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, etc.. by and large the majority of Americans and Canadians are overwhelingly white, and this same reflection exists in the native speakers abroad teaching English abroad. To make a long story short, its not an exclusive club. You should be able to find your niche. Just don't believe any of the other propoganda. Once you get out here, you'll notice its not a caucasian only club.. It might be a little tougher as I would imagine. But alot of us want you here as well.. particularly so we show the Koreans that we aren't some homogeneous hamburger-munching pale-skinned group of chopstick-tokin freaks..

The hogwan owners always tell you that pretty Korean female teachers bring in more students. Also notice how those Korean English teachers are also always between 25-29? Anyhow, Korea is just filled with stuff like this. The pretty girls outside of the department stores singing up a storm. If this was North America, none of this would exist. We'd be on Korean Airlines with the 40-year-old mother of 3 kids, looking at old Salvation Army ladies while going into Lotte Department Store, and having some kind of fruity Richard Simmons ajumma-like language teachers..

When was the last time an activist rock star gave a standing ovation to a "too-big-to-fail" bank? That's just what happened last week when U2 front man Bono extolled the generosity of Bank of America and joined CEO Brian Moynihan at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Moynihan and U2 frontman Bono announced a $10 million BofA commitment to RED, the AIDS charity co-founded by Bono. In a clever promotional twist, the bank will tie its donation to U2's newest album release during the upcoming Superbowl. BofA agreed to pay for every download of the album's song "Invisible" for 24 hours, an investment they will back with expensive Superbowl advertising.
Rarely have Moynihan and his bank basked in such a warm reception. Under the bright Davos sunshine, CNBC and The Financial Times (among other news media) took turns interviewing the Boston-based banker and his rock activist partner. The visual contrast was nearly as noteworthy as Bono complimenting the bank for its "game-changing influence."
THE PR VERDICT: "A" (PR Perfect) for BofA's brand-building philanthropy.
THE PR TAKEAWAY: Regain trust by carefully picking your allies. Despite continuing efforts to engage in a public dialogue and foster good will, progress has been incremental over the past five years. In Davos last week, BofA wisely avoided interviews about its business. Instead, it joined a unique global health initiative and happily played back up to a true superstar. Well done, BoFA.

U.S. Bishops and Other Catholic Groups Issue Ad Opposing HHS Mandate
Oct. 11 statement ran in Politico and The Hill in Washington: 'Support access to health care? Protect conscience rights.'
WASHINGTON (EWTN News/CNA)—The leaders of 20 national Catholic organizations are objecting to the Department of Health and Human Services' recent "preventive services" mandate with an ad placed in two D.C.-area newspapers. They insist that the requirements would harm both Catholic institutions and society as a whole.
"As written, the rule will force Catholic organizations that play a vital role in providing health care and other needed services either to violate their conscience or severely curtail those services," said the statement, which appeared as an Oct. 11 ad in Politico and The Hill.
"This would harm both religious freedom and access to health care."
The statement was signed by Archbishop Timothy Dolan, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, as well as the leaders of several prominent Catholic universities, health-care associations, lay associations and agencies that serve refugees and the poor. Such organizations could be affected by the mandate as it is currently written.
The "preventive services" mandate issued by HHS has been repeatedly challenged by Catholic leaders as a violation of religious liberty and freedom of conscience.
The mandate would require "almost all private health plans to cover sterilization procedures and contraceptive drugs, including drugs that may cause an early abortion," the statement noted.
Although a religious exemption to the mandate currently exists, critics have argued that it is too narrow and would exclude most Catholic hospitals, schools and other organizations.
To qualify for the religious exemption, a Catholic organization would have to meet a strict set of criteria, which include hiring and serving primarily Catholics. Many Catholic institutions are open to serving all individuals, regardless of their faith.
"The HHS mandate puts many faith-based organizations and individuals in an untenable position," the joint statement said. "But it also harms society as a whole by undermining a long American tradition of respect for religious liberty and freedom of conscience."
"In a pluralistic society, our health-care system should respect the religious and ethical convictions of all. We ask Congress, the administration, and our fellow Americans to acknowledge this truth and work with us to reform the law accordingly."

The above tools, called trephines or trepans, were used to cut a circular hole in the skull. Practiced for tens of thousands of years, trepanation is believed to be the oldest surgical procedure practiced by humans (Frey, 2005). Early trepanations are thought to have been treatment for psychological disorders, epilepsy, and headaches (Frey, 2005).
The all-metal trephine pictured above is from after 1860, while the one with the ebony handle is from between 1860 and 1870. Both have Galt-style blades, characterized by the angled grooves on the cutting crown. This style was meant to produce less bone dust than the older straight crown. During the 19th century, trephines were used to relieve pressure on the brain following cranial injuries (Bakay, 1985).

As the electoral rolls closed, the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) confirmed that they have faxed, [ tortured prisoners], David Hicks and Mamdouh Habib, [scapegoats for the Coalition of the Killing's resource war's in the Middle East], postal vote application forms, Australian Greens Member for Cunningham Michael Organ said.
"I am glad to see that DFAT has taken steps to allow the Australian citizens David Hicks and Mamdouh Habib the opportunity to vote in the upcoming federal election," Michael Organ said.
"I wrote to the US Embassy twice about this important issue over the last seven days, so I call upon the Embassy to ensure this paperwork gets to the Australian Electoral Commission without delay."
"David Hicks and Mamdouh Habib should be returned to Australia and dealt with according to Australian law. Until that happens though, I am glad that they will be able to participate in our democratic process."
"As the U.S. show trial lingers, it is timely that the two Australian citizens can have the opportunity to pass judgement on the efforts of the Howard Government to guard the welfare of its citizens," Michael Organ said.

World Cup final: It's Pope versus Pope
By Daniel Burke, CNN Belief Blog EditorFollow @BurkeCNN
(CNN)– Will the World Cup final become a "Holy War"?
At the very least, Sunday's match could put millions of Catholics - not to mention Vatican employees - in a bit of a bind.
Will they root for Argentina, the homeland of Pope Francis, who is known to be an ardent soccer aficionado? Or will they back Germany, the native country of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, also a football fan?
And what about the Big Referee Upstairs? Whose prayers will he heed when the game is on the line?
Germany reached the final match on Tuesday by blowing out Brazil, the host country. Argentina beat the Netherlands on Wednesday afternoon.
Of course, both Popes (not to mention God) have more important things on their minds. But the pontiffs have also said that sports can be more than fun and games.
"The sport of football can be a vehicle of education for the values of honesty, solidarity and fraternity, especially for the younger generation," Benedict told Italy's Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper back in 2008.
His successor, Francis has echoed those remarks, and even promised not to pray for Argentina.
But a Catholic who met Pope Francis this week to discuss more serious matters said that the pontiff seemed to be secretly pulling for his home team.
"He absolutely wants for Argentina to win," Peter Saunders, a victim of sexual abuse from England who met Francis on Monday, told the Boston Globe. "He didn't say it out loud, but you could see it in his eyes, he's a closet fan."
And earlier this month, before Argentina played Switzerland, Francis jokingly told his Swiss Guards, "It's going to be war!"
It will be interesting to see what the Vatican says about the Argentina-Germany matchup. The men are known to be close, with Francis saying he and Benedict "are brothers."
Maybe the "brothers" will put a little wager on the high-stakes soccer match, or maybe this just means that God has a really good sense of humor.
On Thursday, Vatican spokesman Rev. Federico Lombardi dashed hopes for a World Cup papal watch party, but left often the possibility that something could be afoot.
"We'll see in the coming days," Lombardi told reporters.

The week in review
Worst week for Iraqi sculptors: Statues of Saddam Hussein come tumbling down.
Best week for American armed forces: Major combat in Iraq is essentially over.
Worst date for procrastinators: April 15, when the post office stays open until midnight to get those tax returns postmarked.
Best way to commemorate Thomas Jefferson's April 13 birthday: The Jefferson Muzzle Awards, the TJ Center for the Protection of Free Expression's annual spotlight on egregious erosions of free speech.
Best Muzzle: Gee, it's so hard to pick, but U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft heads the list with four actions "ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous," including denying public and press access to deportation hearings and implying that criticism of his policies aids terrorism.
Second best Muzzle: The 107th U.S. Congress for passing the Patriot Act and allowing search warrants of library patrons' reading materials without probable cause, and forbidding librarians from telling anyone.
Best perk of being a bureaucrat: Charlottesville and Albemarle County government employees get April 14 off in honor of TJ's birthday.
Worst Ivy Landfill casualty: An explosion kills manager Howard Wayne Stephens when he uses a cutting torch on fuel tanks April 10.
Worst murder-for-hire allegations: Jese Luke Crosson is charged with three counts of conspiring to commit capital murder for allegedly asking someone to bump off three witnesses while he's in Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail. He's awaiting trial for break-ins and the shootings of two men last year, Reed Williams reports in the Daily Progress.
Best long shot in the 5th District: Vintner Al Weed throws his hat into the race against four-term incumbent U.S. Representative Virgil Goode.
Best long shot in the 57th District: Blair Hawkins challenges Democrat Mitch Van Yahres for the General Assembly seat Van Yahres has held since 1981.
Best credentials: Hawkins is two-time winner of the Clark School spelling bee, according to the press release announcing his candidacy.
Worst inflammatory marketing combo: Chocolate Easter bunnies and toy soldiers have Westminster Presbyterian Church members up in arms against Kmart and Wal-Mart, according to a Liesel Nowak story in the Progress.
Best get for a utility: Susan Allen, wife of Senator George Allen, joins the Dominion Resources board of directors.
Best get for UNC basketball: NCAA-regular Kansas Jayhawks coach Roy Williams.
Worst suicide attempt: Louisa resident George H. Morris Jr. allegedly slaps $500 on the Forest Lakes CVS pharmacy counter April 10 and demands 100 tabs of the narcotic OxyContin, which he downs on the spot. Police find him sitting in the store minutes later.
Worst man to act bratty around: Stan Tatum. His ire at seeing eight-year-olds running amok on the Downtown Mall is widely covered in the local media and quickly has police promising more patrols.
Best way to assess the likelihood of terrorism: The Daily Progress website, which features an orange block that says "Threat level: high." Thanks!
Best resemblance to a real website: WVIR Channel 29 finally posts news on www.wvirtv.com, but be careful typing its address, as www.wvir.com still leads to "Supersluts."
Worst lack of still cameras: For the on-air team section on the revamped Channel 29 site, the station is unable to cop photos of nine reporters, including Luke Duecy, Jeff Kraus, Ken Slack, Ranji Sinha, and David Vagnoni.
Best way to get into Vanity Fair : Have a murder case involving rich people. The Orange County Mt. Athos estate murder of a duPont relative, allegedly by his second wife, makes the May issue of Vanity Fair.
Best celebrity comeback: The above article also mentions that former Albemarle residents Jessica Lange and Sam Shepard have bought a farm in the Somerset area of Orange.

InPic, developed by ApplyF, is full featured Instagram client for Windows Phone 8. It falls into the same camp as Instance and 6tag in that it allows users to directly post to the popular photo sharing network. It's also available as a Windows 8 app, is completely free and it easily has one of the nicest UIs we've come across.
Version 1.1 is now live in the Store and with it, brings numerous changes worth revealing. The biggest one is InPic now has the Instagram security requirements enabled, including full logout from the service.
Official Instagram apps basically insert a marker into your photos before being uploaded. In doing so, the service marks these images as legit and allows them to be indexed for tagging. It's akin to how antibodies work, if you're familiar with biology. The security feature was introduced to prevent spam on Instagram, but as a side effect it initially caused issues with photos being posted by nonsanctioned apps, including the famous "hashtag issue".
InPic v1.1, like 6tag (and Instance version 2, which is in beta) has this security feature supported, giving users solace in knowing that their images won't cause the Instagram service to flag their accounts. In fact, Daniel Gary of Instance actually assisted the developer of InPic to get this missing featured enabled. Kudos to Windows Phone developers who help each other out.
The other big change in InPic version 1.1 is the app is now much smaller. The initial release of InPic had the app at a monstrous 31 MB but that has now been slimmed down to a slim 6 MB in today's update. That's essential for people with the entry level Windows Phones, where space is a premium. Indeed, early reports suggest that InPic runs very well on 512 MB devices too.
The only significant feature limitation on InPic is it doesn't allow video uploads, though users can view and even download other people's videos. Video uploading requires external servers to be setup and maintained, which is no easy task, nor cheap. Seeing as InPic is completely free with no ads, it seems to be a fair tradeoff (and some of us never touch the video upload feature anyway).
InPic version 1.1 is a solid, well-built Instagram app for Windows Phone 8. It follows the Instagram security guidelines and has a gorgeous UI. It's also quite fast and fluid, making it worthy of your attention if you're a regular Instagram users.
You can grab InPic here in the Store. Windows Phone 8; 512 MB devices OK

Cameron Diaz stunned at the London premiere of her latest film, The Other Woman, in a skintight leather dress.
The actress chose a lambskin dress by Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's fashion label The Row, which featured three-quarter length sleeves and a simple shift style.
She paired the figure-hugging number with nude patent Manolo Blahnik pumps and a selection of Michiko, Cartier and Ana Khouri jewellery.
Her co-star, former Sports Illustrated model Kate Upton, went for a more demure look in a fifties style black frock by William Vintage. It featured an asymmetric neckline, cinched-in waist and midi-length skirt. She also donned a pair of trusty leg lengthening nude heels. A swept back bouffant updo, mega-bling chandelier earrings and cat-eye makeup finished off the old Hollywood look.
Leslie Mann went for a splash of colour in an unusual patterned dress which featured a black sequinned collar. Black stilettos and glossy coral lipstick finished off the fun and youthful look.
The trio of actresses posed together on the red carpet.
