Seems that they have some jobs in China to be the token white guy in a meeting, at an event, or sitting in the office

Would this be considered "Affirmative Action" in China? :confused:

I was in a lunch meeting in China last week where this came up. One of the Chinese guys was talking about companies that rent westerners. The most preferred are ones that look like corporate guys-50+, gray hair, but of a belly to show they enjoy life and eat well. Put him in your trade show booth and just have him sit there and when you bring paper work over to him and just have him nod or shake his head.

Good to know I have second career if I want. Nodding off during meetings is one of my specialties.

Yea I think this is really really interesting. I've considered doing it, but I have more of the bodyguard look, and not the professional business man look.
