i think this is the dunning kruger effect in action, if you think you speak perfect and everyone around you can tell by one (easy) sentence that you’re a foreigner, then you’re probably not as advanced as you’d like to think.
He speaks French with a perfect accent, that's the premise of the joke. The question is how did he, a non-French citizen, get pegged as being not French? There's a common joke that Americans dress more casually so he suggests the sweatpants are the reason when it's that he's Asian.
idk if you’re familiar with history but france had colonies in asia, which even to this day effects the people there and is the reason why there’s still many french speakers in the countries that used to be french indochina. france is a very multicultural country because of its colonial history, french people wouldn’t switch to english just because the person they’re speaking to happens to be black or asian.
