LOL! I think we're seeing the attitude of an English-speaking Canadian
here...

My favorite was a remark made a French kid, about my age then (20), when I
was studying in Europe, when I asked him what he thought of Canadian French
speakers. "Whatever it is they speak, it isn't French," he said. g

That's what they say about anyone who doesn't speak the same patois
they do.

Much like what my German girlfriend says about those who speak other
dialects of Deutsch.

And the governor of California does NOT speak German, he speaks Austrian!

Tribalism is alive and well.
