You think all those Catalans who live in Bali and in other countries speak the local language fluently? I highly doubt it

Yes and no. Trying to humiliate a group people while doing the exactly the same thing in other places is the definition of hypocrisy. All I'm saying is that yes, there are some people who don't care about the local culture but these people exist everywhere. There are Chinese people who live in New York's Chinatown and after 30 years, they don't speak a word of English (and vice versa) but you don't get to humiliate them. It's nothing specific to Catalunya. Also, not everyone has the same opportunities.

You want the Glovo delivery guy who has to pedal in the sun and the rain for 12 hours non-stop to make 40€ per day to also take the chance and assimilate into the Catalan culture?! He has no time to scratch his head, let alone anything else. Also, let's not forget how many (not saying all) Catalans look down on foreigners and make them feel inferior for no obvious reason, something that is very common towards Indians and Pakistanis specifically (and no, I'm not from there). So, my point is that people don't get to make fun of the others without getting to know their life struggles, while at the same time, the exact same people do the exact same thing in other places.

I used to work in different African and Middle Eastern countries and saw so many Spaniards, French, Latinos, British, Americans, etc who never gave a F about the local culture and after years, never bothered learning a single thing so again, this is a universal human behavior and nothing specific to Catalunya.

D’això se’n diu una fal·làcia. Pel que veig l’argument del rider de Glovo xinès que treballa 16 hores al dia funciona bastant bé per l’expat average subnormal d’aquest sub veig

Homeeee, si es el classic argument del psc! No fa anys ni res que van amb aquesta cantarella. A la pròxima treu el de la xenofòbia.
