    Them- “btw, you’ve pronounced that word incorrectly.”
    You- “THAT’S RACIST. You are full of hate and ignorance!”

      You’re not an English teacher, right? You’re not speaking to your kids, right? You’re just having regular conversations with people, right? If you want to beat rules into people who don’t speak like you do, you might actually be full of hate and ignorance and you’re probably racist, that is 100% correct.

        I don’t think so. As a non native English speaker, I am happy when people help me to improve my English. So I totally would do the same for other people, I don’t think that makes me a racist but rather someone that cares about language as it allows me to better understand intention, such as racist ones.
