Not necessarily. It can be.. in certain situations.
The point here is the REASON why someone makes fun of that person.

Racist? i actual have not seen this so i could no longer say. i've got seen various comments on grammar and/or spelling; yet to no longer the element of coming up relaxing or singling out Asians. some are whether indignant. Sorry you look to locate maximum of that are ignorant. As for Asian English audio equipment, any who're disappointed could examine the 1st English shoppers manuel that got here with a Datsun automobile taking place 50 years in the past. there has been great progression. I had a Korean buddy who spoke 5 languages fluently for content cloth yet no longer for grammar. John Kim in no way met an English conjunction or preposition he ought to no longer sidestep till he have been given to the U.S. and started college. i presumed the human beings I even have seen ***** have been perhaps English instructors, whose psychological opt for for correctness is disappointed by way of any trivialities, and that they have got been purely attempting tocontinual domicile a element; or the lazy finding for 2 factors.

Yes...i am assuming you mean someone who lacks skills in English because its not their first language. So in that case it is most definitely racist to make fun of someone.
Reverse the situation and imagine yourself in a country where you do not speak the language well...i doubt you would appreciate people smirking and making fun of you for that reason...

It depends... Sometimes people are just making fun because what one's said is just totaly a nonsense or turns to be funny. Sometimes people are not making fun of you, they laugh because what you said turns to be weird or funny (because you mixed two words, for exemple, you know, like a play on words).

First of all I think it is inconsiderate and RUDE, first and foremost... and yes, I do think that it could also be construed as a form of racist behavior... but I guess it all depends on WHAT exactly was said...
When in doubt, follow this Golden Rule:
Always treat other people how YOU would like to be treated yourself.. : )
Follow that rule and you will never have to worry!

No, it's rude if he are a foreigner because he is obviously trying his best and needs encouragement, not discouragement. However, if he is a native speaker, well, he should know better and have it coming to him. But it's still not racism.

No, it's funny.
Edit: Duh, no one is saying to make fun of them to their face. Do it behind their backs. That's perfectly fine.
No, seriously... I think everyone laughs at everyone. If I go to China or to Mexico, or to Venice, whatever, I would laugh at myself trying to speak the native language there, so I definitely wouldn't take any offense to being laughed at. LIGHTEN UP PEOPLE!
