I’m in marketing.
I‘m one of the only few white people in my company. I don’t feel comfortable doing this. I don’t want to be typecast into Gaijin English Teacher.
I didn’t come to this company to teach English.
What is the best way to get out of this without rocking the boat?
edit:
reasons why this bothers me on a personal level:
I don’t want to get othered.
And
I worked my ass off to get out of teaching English.
I love Japanese language and culture, if I wanted to speak English I would have stayed in my country.
I don’t even get much opportunity to speak Japanese anyway and I’d feel resentful.
