Things I hate about us Nepali

I don't listen to rap and hiphop but well well well this song does bring out the sensitive issues. I have heard Neps talking in English and that simply pisses me off. I don't expect everyone to speak and write flawless english with no grammatical errors but speak only if you're sure whatever you're saying is in a correct form. "Pathetic" is the word I'd use in some cases. I've noticed this a lot, people who do not know how to speak proper english seem to speak english with their so called American accent or British accent. Darn, why do people wanna make fun of themselves? I once visited one of the states and there were some neps who were like, “Demmit this is so cool” with some self made accent!! I later figured out they were trying to sound like Americans but in vain. I went to them and I was like, “tapai haru nepali ho?” and they go like “Ess but we don’t know how to speak nepali so please speak with us in English.” My friend and I interrogated them in English and they go like blank; “kaam ma janu paryo dhilo bhayo gayem la nani, bhetera khusi lagyo” is what they said as they walked off. Don’t get me wrong because I’m not bragging but I know people who speak really good English with a good schooling and they’ve been in the U.S. or the U.K. since a long time and these are the people who never try to sound like Americans or the British people. People who do not know how to speak proper English either do this to overcome the fear of being thrown at a place where everyone speaks English or they do this to simply feel good.
