turks are okay as long as they still in takeaways and barbers
damn im so racist now
Na
You're just right.
My barber is Iranian, and the pizza delivery guy yesterday was Turkish. All is well. 👍
@transience Become english teacher
<:thvnk:332928260004642827>
dont they just want whities though
@red can you confirm?
would waving my british passport work at all or do i need the look too?
no personal experience, but it's what i hear.

im probably gonna try push for the sponsorship route through western pigdog company
if that doesnt work, that's another option
i mean, waving your british passport around won't hurt.
places are increasingly looking for qualifications to teach, though
and aren't they all into american english nowadays
it's not the sort of wild west like it was before where you could just hop in and start teaching, though there are definitely still places like that.
only hong kong seems to like britbong english
so maybe theyd discriminate based on that
all i saw around taipei was "mei yu" (i dont have pinyin input on thinkpad) instead of "ying wen"
not sure about british english. i figure as long as you're native you'd be fine
nah, that's just a certain way of saying english that sounds fancier
i guess so
mei yu = beautiful language

i can increasingly into posh southern english nowadays too, now that ive lived in the south for a year
@red how do they perceive bbc english over there?
aka queen's english or stereotypical britbong accent
you're harry potter
some girl in raohe night market figured out i was brit
either by my bank card or my accent
i was speaking to her in 80% mandarin
depends on the person, some people can't tell
with odd english word
other people can
sounds fancy.
actually interested in this myself, never really considered it
i'll ask around.
Are there any English news/politics blogs that aren't afraid to tell it how it is in China?
