I've had great conversations with japanese who are just English beginners.. i talk to them in japanese and they are nice. But whenever i've met or voice chatted with ones that are advanced English learners they are so mean and racist.
For example i'm hispanic and with accent but i was never born in latin america and they treat me like i'm not real American, they even say it....and then cause i'm not white and cause i'm not sassy and outgoing and i speak slow , they treat me like i'm just a dumb crapo who doesn't speak english and is not American.
Does this attitude of advanced english speakers come from the Advertising of English that they get in Japan? I'm mean, from hollywood to ESL schools what they see as real American is outgoing loud Americans who speak fast and dont have accents. But many of us are not like that...
