A_P,
thank you for your comment but I still don't see the point.
May be the case with the girl pixie mentioned is different. May be that girl knew that Nepalis can speak English but still wanted to bring pixie down by comparing her to Hispanics. I don't know that. But..
I've encountered numerous similar situations when
I was growing up as a kid in the US. I can tell you that a lot of Americans
genuinely don't know that foreigners can speak English well. I took it as a compliment most of the times as well as an opportunity to teach them. Hey, if you wanna get offended and go cry to your mama, book a flight to Nepal because I don't feel sorry for you.
