Why does some people gives Asian some funny look..?

I am sure some of you know about this too - I've heard people complaining about how some Asians doesn't speak proper English or bad grammar and stuff like that. Does it ever crossed their mind that 95% of Asians speaks more than 1 languages? I, myself speak 5 different languges. Do any of you find it funny when people making fun of Asians not being able to speak proper English? I mean, of course the white and black 's English are perfect but that's the only language they speak! And oh, I really admired the non Chinese people that can speak more than one language!

    It depends what kind of Asian... Like, in Singapore, they're supposed to be learning proper english (and english IS the official language here)... but a lot kind of fail at it... not to be rude or anything. They speak Singlish instead (mostly english with words from all different languages mixed in and a very heavy accent) . I think THEY even realize their grammar isn't the best, lah :P or, it's not "proper english".

    but anyways, any one who's first language isn't english and who learned English as a second language when they were older is not likely to speak proper english or will speak it with a heavy accent. NOT just Asians.

    I think it's because of their accents, and how they pronounce it. how they cant say "r" or "ch" sound.
