Racism in Columbia...

I wonder if anyone could shed some light on the situation for "Black" teachers in Columbia. I am a Black American and wonder what it will be like to try to find a teaching job in Columbia and also what it will be like to live there. I understand that there is discrimination everywhere - I recognize and accept this. But, I am interested to see what others have to say so that I can get a sense about it as I consider my move there.

How are Black people viewed there?
What issues might I be faced with?
Will I be at a disadvantage in being considered for positions because of my race?

Any info is appreciated :)

Anyway almost 99% of population in Bogota are white like caucasic americans but no problem for you. But dont expect money, you will gain the enought to pay the rent and basic services but you will not be able to save money because this is a poor country. 0 funny, 0 helpful.
