I would say this is helping because it’s allowing me to learn a language and connect with people but this dude “Jordan” (not his real name) is known as a bad person at my school. He is half German and thinks he can hate Jewish people and act like a Nazi but because he speaks German at home, it allows him to actually speak German and say rude things without people knowing.

He taught me some German anyway, and it was actually normal stuff and he told me I should take German classes to immerse myself.

I mean I can't remember specific occasions but yeah im sure dicks and assholes have helped me. They can still be dickish or such when helping but sometimes its their job or they begrudgingly do it and like your experience sometimes in certain situations they can do things without being dicks for awhile. It does not make them in general nicer persons but does show they have the capacity if they felt like being nicer in general.
