Caucasians needed in China!



Crackers are needed in China. How's that for great employment opportunity?

Quote:
Believe it or not, in China white guys can get a job posing as businessmen for companies who hire them to look more international to their real partners. It?s called ?White Guy Window Dressing? and it?s apparently a very popular business tactic.

What makes this such a great job for white guys in China is that it has some really simple requirements: be white, don?t speak any Chinese, or speak at all unless asked, pretend like you just got off an airplane the day before, and look good in a suit. The people who usually go for this king of gig are part-time models and actors, English teachers and expats looking for a quick and easy paycheck. It?s called ?White Guy Window Dressing?, ?The Token White Guy Gig?, or simply the ?Face Job? and it?s so popular in China these days that there?s actually a company called Rent A Laowai (Chinese for ?foreigner?) that helps businesses improve their image by providing fake white employees or partners.
So does this mean these rednecks have a chance at cosmopolitan living?
