Wow. You really don’t understand what he’s saying.
Also, why on Earth would he be talking about non-native English speakers if he’s an American writer who writes novels in English for English-speakers? Does he really need to add “except for all of you who don’t speak English” or does everyone (except you apparently) realize that without him having to add that bit of unnecessary clarification?
Yes? Because english is the global language? It does not belong to English speaking countries anymore? You lost that with forced colonization? There is no countries on the internet? It is funny how when it comes to MY concerns, and me being offended and being talked down to, the clarification is suddenly ‘uneccesary’, and ‘realised by everyone’.

Again, it’s very apparent that everyone else here, including non-native English speakers, understood what he was talking about but you.
John Green is not under an obligation to tailor his statements to you personally.
“John Green is not under an obligation to tailor his statements to you personally.” Nor am I.
Also it is really funny, how you have no issue generalising 8 BILLION people, and what they understand and how they feel.
Considering no one said you were, I don’t see how that’s relevant.
