    Invalid comparison. It would be more like you being born and raised in China and people defaulting to English all the time.

      It was a joke, not a real comparison. I just happen to not be able to speak any other language.

        The ‘it’s just a joke’ defence doesn’t really work when the context it’s posted in changes its meaning entirely.

          There’s no defense here. You didn’t get the joke, that’s okay, move on.

            I understood it was a joke. I was commenting on how it lands in context, not missing the humor. We’re just reading it differently.
