To be honest, I think you worry a bit too much about

Chinese people's image. I suggest that you can consider move to our area, greater Washington D.C. There is 13% Asian in this area, and most of them are professionals. I think Chinese have a very positive image here. In our area, if you go to a new high end communite, you will see lots Chinese faces.
I think time have changed, Chinese people's image have changed a lot in the last 20 years. Today, Mike2 just talked about his achievement here. I do believe him, because most of my Chinese friends are in the same boat. I bet they don't look much like "cheap labors"
