Hello
I am a 42 year old Canadian born person of Korean heritage and I have pretty much spent my whole in Canada. This means that I speak and write perfect English and also possess about 6 years of ESL related teaching experience in South Korea.
So my question is, will I have a difficult time finding employment as a English teacher in Phnom Penh because I am not white.
Thanks for your input.
Asian English Teachers employable?
Let's say a white guy was born in korea and attended local schools there. Would he be credible as a Korean teacher in Cambodia ?

You can get a job here no problem. I have worked with a few British teachers of both black n Asian descent. There's a black American working at the moment. I have also worked with Chinese Americans. Some khamericans are also teaching.

Yep, also worked with a couple of French/Canadian-Asian teaching English, and a Chinese/Khmerican (granted, that was at PUC), but that doesn't automatically make them useless teachers. (this was years ago, but things can't have changed that much yet)

You're perfectly employable. You state that your English is pretty-much NES level, so you should have no problem.
However, don't be surprised if some ignorant employers offer you lower than NES rates because you 'look' Asian.
American Intercon Institute on Mao Tse Toung Boulevard is a tad more enlightened than most employers in this regard, I suggest you try there first.
Good luck.
