I Hate Racism and Discrimination
I hate it when certain knuckleheads get offended when I speak in a foreign language and demand me to speak in their language. I was not even talking to them!😡

Being multilingual isn’t something that should be mocked or derided; it should be aspired to. What irks me is when I hear someone mock a person’s accent when speaking English as a second or third language. I want to say to that person, “Ok genius, how many different languages do [i]you[/i] know?”

I think that people who live in culturally rich areas or who have travelled extensively think this way. It’s the people who never get exposed to other cultures and languages who seem to be most intimidated by them. The person who confronted you is probably just ignorant as a result of living a rather narrow and isolated existence. @JBird
