Educated Americans, like the ones working in those big companies, know how stupid it is to make fun of someone who is already working in a second or third language… they are not the ones this meme is trying to insult
Proudly uneducated Americans, like the ones who travel to other parts of the world and demand to be spoken to in English… or the ones who have never left their county and are offended by a different sounding consonant, fit the bill perfectly
I also travel everywhere, speak English to random people in restaurants and services and expect them to understand it. Cuz they can’t possibly expect every visitor to their country to speak their language somehow?
I always hear about obnoxious Americans traveling, speaking English to locals and being upset when they’re not understood. I’ve never really seen much of it. Usually it’s a polite “excuses me <insert phrase>”. Yes, said in English to a someone in a country where English is not the main language. Yet, what else do you expect them to do?
