People who aren't native speakers expressing themselves in a way a lot
of native speaker do as well, especially if they're rather removed from
urban (white) (upper) middle class prejudices about acceptable use of
language, are, in my opinion, a lot less damaging than those capable of
working themselves up into exalted, strongly negative emotional states
(such as 'hate') because of trifles.
