I'm Peterson from Chicago. I'm native speaker and have been working in China for a couple of years too. I think everyone should be given the chance to teach or work, provided he or she is competent. We all studied and were all trained to be teachers. I believe we've got some schools in china who even desire non-natives to teach their students. Some schools say they need blacks because they are hard working. A good number of native speakers come to China simply because they had nothing to do back home. When they get to China, they become as proud as peacocks.

I wanna be more specific. Felix, doesn't want non-natives to teach english in China.You are a native speaker but why not go back home? You've been here for 5 years. Are you afraid to pay taxes and other bills? We are all whites and need not be so racist.We are all foreigners in an unknown land. Do you think we are the best teachers? Some native speakers can't even spell words correctly and rely on their colleagues who are non-natives. A Canadian writes for machine, an Australian writes for chair.They're all teachers in China and wrote the dogshit on the blackboard for students to copy. Some natives love china because they've got no jobs back home, afraid to pay bills and do not even have homes. They're happy in China because everything is free.

Guys, we're all native speakers but that shouldn't make us proud. Man has equal rights. Non-natives even taught some of us before we came to China.
