do native English speakers criticize my English when they don't even know one word from my language?

I can't speak for everyone... but sounds like the people criticizing your English are a bit immature... whether they know any words in your language or not.

Well I didn't even know we Americans even had an accent to anyone else and someone posted a question about how they like our accents. Like 20 people from around the world answered and said really mean stuff like our accent could strip wallpaper. HARSH! It kinda hurt my feelings collectively for all of us Americans who thought we sounded fine to the rest of the world.
I thought it was mean and no one has the right to criticize how anyone else sounds, especially since they have no idea what the sound like to the rest of the world.
And for your issue you are bi-lingual, how is that even criticizable?? Some people can be so nasty.

Because they speak English and not yours. You can only be critical of something YOU know.

Canadians are worse when you don't speak french... But don't worry Most only do it cause they are intimated. Plus I am a native speaker and I am critized daily

You're on our turf and you WILL learn to speak the language! Why would we want to learn your language when the natives (you) don't even want to live there?
By the way---I believe you should have commas between your whys and the first letter of your additional question should be capitalized. And what Slappy's Evil Twin (above) says.
Other than that...hey, you look hott!

don't feel bad I assure you more Americans that were born here do more damage to the English languages than you will ever do and they are jealous of your ability to speak more than one language

Because the Natives are restless and you were shooting pool at the time and the cue stick struck the wrong balls.

Gee ummmm, why would we know your language when we are in OUR country not YOURS. If you have a problem with America, then go home and speak your language all you want. By the way, your picture makes you look like a tramp.

because they are rude insensitive morons who are so closed minded that they cant grasp the concept that some people are not from here and are just learning our language - sorry for the jerks honey - they dont speak for all of us!

It's easy to critize when they know it and someone else doesn;t....I agree whole heartedly on what you said but American's find it easier to critize on something they know regardless of whether they've gone through similar situations or not.
