Some Chinese businesses will deliberately hire & use White employees since the White employees are often treated better. It's called the White Guy strategy.

The challenge is making the society becomes less status focused and realizing that the color of a persons and/or background is meaningless. Of making it so migrant workers as well as others are treated with the same respect as anyone else.

I like this quote:

that won't change until Chinese learn to treat migrant workers and poor people with more respect.
