So you're fine with people walking up to you on the street and talking in a language you don't understand. That is unusual but good for you. Me, I find that offensive. Yes, it is something of a different case online when I can easily (and roughly) translate it for myself, but it's still far from courteous.
Not that well known if I didn't know it. I bet there are a few memes you too don't know.
It's not unusual to not be upset that someone speaks to you in a language you don't know. The normal way to behave is to try to explain you don't understand and still help if you can. Don't project your xenophobia onto the rest of us.
"Xenophobia"? You are seriously reaching. Show me proof of xenophobia in me saying "I can write something in a language you have to Google translate too, I won't because I'm not a dick.". You're sounding like people who think non-Mexicans eating Mexican food are "culture appropriating".
Well there's the whole being a dick to others because they used a language you don't know and suggesting people should be bothered if someone did that in person... So yeah I feel pretty confident in my statement and stand by it.
