if you are going to drop into Japan and find a job yourself then you are going to be applying at 英会話 so the owners/managers are very likely to be westerners. some schools like to have different accents available to their students because most of the major international language tests require that you can understand conversations in other accents. the number of times i've had students complain about the indian english or scottish english accent haha.

if you are black that is not a problem, at least not from my experience. as long as your english is of a good standard. there are plenty of non-american black people working in Japan. the sad thing is, many of them pretend to be america with hip-hop style etc. oh well.
