“You will not have a chance to teach if you are a person of color, country, cowboy-ish or other ethnic looking people, or with “slight accent” that Management classifies as a non native or neutral speaking. ”
Having lived in China I know that this can be the case from time to time and online as well but the way you word almost means that you take it at face value. Yes the Chinese can be quite racist but the fact that you do not criticize this hiring policy and instead imply “Hey this is just the way they work” means it has your tacit approval. At least have the balls to disown this kind of policy they have rather then write a glowing review about how great they are and then end it with a racist message at the end of it. You’re not racist but why support a company that you deem great when you knowingly understand their prejudice. If you want to recommend a company or want people to subscribe to your blog then have a backbone as well. I’m not white and I made a whole lot more money teaching the Chinese than most other highly educated white folks when living in China and teaching online. I had to work harder to overcome their notions of what they think I was and you should really work hard to so lazily recommend a company that accepts people based on looks only.
Totally agree!
It came as a blow!
I’m looking for a job and this’d upset me to the core.
How can you be so racist? Magic Ears?
I’m speechless.
Such a promising review ended up in an ocean of insults to the whole human race.
“You will not have a chance to teach if you are a person of color, country, cowboy-ish or other ethnic looking people, or with “slight accent” that Management classifies as a non native or neutral speaking”. Am I reading this correctly?
“You will not have a chance to teach if you are a person of color, country, cowboy-ish or other ethnic looking people, or with “slight accent” that Management classifies as a non native or neutral speaking”
This is NOT true seeing that I am a FILIPINO, who just got hired. I am not Caucasian however I am native born Canadian. This article does not depict the company.
You should know that magic ears makes a point of hiring maybe 1 percent of the POCs who apply to their platform. You may have been lucky to fall in that 1 percent. It used to be zero percent up to a year ago, so please consider who you are defending. Just because you didn’t experience it doesn’t mean the other 99 percent of POC applicants are not being treated in a racist way.
The company also opened up their platform to applicants from territories other than the US and Canada for the first time just a few months ago. However, even though they claim to want applicants with a neutral accent, they are hiring people from Australia, South Africa and other major white majority territories with extremely thick accents.
However, they don’t accept ANY applicants from native English speaking territories that have a high black population, even when their accent is neutral sounding. None at all.
You should do your research before defending such a horrible company. The information about them is actually super easy to find. And remember that your sole experience does not speak for entire communities that Magic “Racist” Ear excludes.
I am black/Latina born in Canada and was hired by Magic Ears. Perhaps, as you suggested, your one experience isn’t the overall truth.
I have heard nothing but terrible things about this company. SO MANY people have been screwed out of their pay. They actually deny that the person even worked there. I wouldn’t teach with this company if my life depended on it. The reviews I’ve read and the teachers that I’ve talked to actually hate this platform. I mean, they can do whatever they want because there are teachers lined up to get a position. I’m only writing this because my friend isn’t getting paid for the enormous amount of time he put in and they’re not paying him. He did nothing wrong and there’s nothing he can do to get his money. It’s disgusting.
