People of every culture (and indeed sometimes based only on lack of language understanding) make fun of those who don't speak the language, nothing new.
Can't tell you the number of times I've heard spanish directed at me with the word "gringo" being thrown in with the punchline... thing is, I'm totally white, but I know spanish (gringo means "white person", btw- and is more a derogatory term) and usually just laugh at the joke- that freaks them out. lol
I laughed my ass off, it's too funny.
