I mean, anyone with a brain understands that when you’re using a language nobody else understands, that you’re talking shit about people in the room.
Doesn’t take a rocket scientist of even a bilingual to figure that out.
That's a really weird attitude. I come from a multicultural city where people speak their own language in public all the time and nobody presumes it has anything to do with them. Why would it?
If you’re in a social group, purposefully using a separate channel is interpreted as something the group wouldn’t approve of.
My American friend group is perfectly fine if my wife and I speak the occasional Dutch in front of them. They know we'd make fun of them to their faces if we felt like it.
Probably American. They don’t understand that cultures are different. Safe to ignore lol
You have low expectations. Sometimes we just want to keep embarrassing stuff on the low.
I do that by not discussing it when I’m in a group.
