Is China A Racist Country?

Below is a photo of an advertisement placed by the Cambridge Kids English Centre in Guangzhou, China for a part-time ESL teacher. In the title it clearly states:

"Native kids English teacher (Black or White) 18,000 rmb"

Also at the bottom of this ad it states:

"you can apply if you are black with good teaching experience and a valid visa"

but then:

"BLACK teachers get 14,000rmb" (>_<)

Is China A Racist Country?

The folks at the the Cambridge Kids English Centre have taken this ad down, but the cached page of it can still be seen here in Yahoo.

Skateboarders Film Kim Il Sung's 100th Birthday Bash

Skateboarders Film Kim Il Sung's 100th Birthday Bash in The DPRK

Via The Atlantic Apr 30 2012

A team of skateboarders were not allowed to skate in Pyongyang, so the video maker of the group, Patrik Wallner, turned his camera to the The 100th Birthday Celebration of Kim Il Sung in North Korea and created a beautiful short documentary of the eternal leader's big birthday extravaganza. From their Virtualtravelling website:
Traveling to Hermit Kingdom is already bizarre enough, but when we heard that North Korea would be celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the Great Leader & eternal president, Kim Il-sung, there was no way to let such an epic birthday party slip through our hands. Laurence Keefe, Kirill Korobkov and I flew over to Pyongyang for two days to witness the madness. While skateboarding within the DPRK was our main intention, it was overshadowed by the celebrations & the 'no sliding' anywhere rule. The three minute clip portrays a small insight into North Korea from the 15th of April 2012.

And here is the clip entitled "Kim Il Sung's Birthday Party":
