Curious to know why ? Basic functionality seems very obvious and friendly to me.
- Comment on What does this emoji mean? Is this a British thumbs up? 4 weeks ago:
Why ? The sign has different meaning in different cultures. It is just your ignorance of anything outside your bubble.

- Comment on How do rainbows work? 5 months ago:
This answer is purely fictional:
Imagine all the rain drops forming a film of glass. Now this glass is curved like a cylinder since rain is basically water flowing from a pipe in the sky. So you are looking at the sun through a curved glass hence you see the curved bow. Now your eyes are spherical in shape, hence the light reflected off the cylinder will appear in colours. Go outside and look at any cylinder, you’ll see rainbow colours.

Well if you can’t tell the difference. There is nothing more to say.
Hope you can look at the world more positively and leave the rest of us alone.

Ok. I thought I’ll clear things up. Yes I had received the relevant responses and I’m happy with the answers I got.
But I’d like to bring attention to comments like yours or the one prior to it, because I see such comments throughout lemmy. It assumes the worst from someone’s post/comment and gives a negative spin for the discussion.
My question was genuine and if you must know it arose from my curiosity that if there will be a language that I cannot be 100% fluent in even if I try. Thought I’d ask with others.
But now I’m wondering if any of my comments were offensive and reading through them again I don’t think I was (hence this response). Again since I’m a non native English speaker, I apologise if it were.
But the whole discussion has moved away from the original point. I had never heard of Eugenics, which from the little I read now, are deeply disturbing concepts. I’m sad that my question could be compared to it.
The point is to ask stupid questions here. And mine was stupid enough. I got my responses from others. But please stop this trend of putting words into people’s mouths and negativistic spin on things. It doesn’t brew a healthy community. People will fear asking questions here (or anywhere in Lemmy).

Great thanks

I know. It is useful for laying some context though

Oh no I didn’t mean incapacity. I meant fluency. One could be mildly or extremely fluent. Was wondering if origin makes a difference.

No idea what race theory is. But what you say does makes sense. As an adult, yes it is mostly dependent on not being used to. But as another user pointed out, there are some languages with clicks in it that are difficult for someone outside the community to speak.

Ah interesting

No. Non native. But brought up in the same culture. I guess it didn’t make a difference then. Chatgpt gave a weird response, so I thought I’d check with people with more knowledge about this.

May be. Would things like facial structure impact the fluency of the language ?

Sorry that is not what I’m asking. Of course anyone can learn skills. But there are certain mannerisms that are imprinted on us because we are from a certain community.
My question is if there exists a language that let’s say among two children (one from the same country, but one from a different one) going through the same upbringing, but only non-native child cannot be as fluent as the native child ?
