A point I want to raise is that if someone is gonna think less of a foreigner bc they use English slightly differently then well it was never the difference in the use of English, it was them being a foreigner.

Also the more you learn a language the more nuance you understand and use, even if that scenario would result of them not noticing the nuance they will eventually learn it

Yes but consider that not everyone is fortunate enough to grow up in diverse environments with exposure to other cultures. If everyone you've ever met from 0-18 is a redneck, how ya think they'll react to x accent. That's unfortunately your floor for expectable initial reactions from mutually non-impressed peoples. I'm not psychologist, figure you aren't either, but there is some principle that elaborates on this, keywords probably akin to cultural exposure in child development, environmental conditioning, and ventures out into other related principles. But idfk what I'm talking about, take this as the ramblings of a madman or whatever.
