English teacher job market in Japan
Red man turns tables on white rivals.
TOKYO, Japan (GTA) -- The influx of Native American teachers continues to grow, a report shows.
As more and more companies focus on hiring Native American workers, other ethnic groups will have no choice but to adapt to the demands of the job market.

"You absolutetly need to show your employer you can speak as a Native American."
"Learn your Indian pronunciation and know your Great Spirit. Don't forget, black hair is preferable to blonde," she added.

"Many moons ago, teachers could get by without a Native accent," Maggie added. "Now, it's an absolute requirement for English teachers."
