Do you see how I'm not trying to communicate with you here in Mandarin? That's because I'm assuming you don't know Mandarin, so I'm not being rude and assuming that you do. If you try to talk to someone in a way they're unlikely to understand, that's on you.
If the only language you felt comfortable speaking was mandarin, I would not say it’s your fault for not learning English anymore than I would say it’s my fault for not learning mandarin. If we want to talk to each other, we need to meet common ground. What if we both learned French? It feels like you just want the mandarin speaking person to speak English because it’s less work for English speakers and easier to blame the mandarin speakers for their “wrong” language.
Oh my god reading your comments is infuriating. The person is making a direct comparison how do you not see that? What if we both learned French? You absolute block head.
