Ahoy, me buckos! Welcome to Bikini Bottom Twitter! Your digital reef for the latest salty gossip and treasure tales! And while you're at it, be sure to drop by the Krusty Krab for a delicious Krabby Patty so I can get yer mon- err I mean, 'cause they're the best treat under the sea!

MODERATORS
This is truer than you might expect. Just not as blatant as the meme. Especially in a work context, people will underestimate someone's abilities, be inpatient with clarifications or simply favour others for tasks.
It's unconcious with some people, they don't even know they're doing it.
I am a first language English speaker, but my partner isn't and it's really opened my eyes to how much we underestimate the language difficulties immigrants can have.
Not to say everyone is struggling, but just that I think English speakers do take language skills for granted. And unconsciously are biased towards people based on their preserved language skills.
Even once you're fluent, like my partner well and truly is, it's still hard.
