You expect OP to only speak the person's language if he's fluent? Everyone starts somewhere. Half assed doesn't even make sense in this context when the guy just learned something for the first time from said language

Well most of these guys videos are in new York and people are always excited when he learns and embraces their culture. I also play online with many non native English speakers and if I ever pick up and repeat some of the phrases they use they fucking love it, shits hilarious to them

Once again wrong, look up the guy I said.

Actually most people love when people make the effort to speak someone's language instead of this nonsense you're speaking about. This has absolutely fck all to do with privilege and the person he spoke to and you are plain rude. If someone goes out of their way to spend time learning something to better communicate with you or make you feel welcome, the normal reaction is not this. I watch a guy who learns many languages in new York, incl Chinese. He goes to Chinatown alot and people are always thrilled and honoured he embraced their culture. He also does it around the world and yes he's white. Xiaoma on YouTube

Oh I agree, I would have him hanged, drawn and quartered if I had it my way

He lives in the UK?
