Anyone else who rages internally when they see some Westerners speak an Asian language? I study it myself, but something in me has an extreme disgust when I see other Westerners do it.

No. I think you're just envious. Your need to be special is violated when someone like you has done it before and does it better and makes you feel like there's nothing special about you.

Not at all.
I am fluent in Chinese. Still, seeing others do it just makes me hate them at a visceral level. I think because they're the ones showing off and not treating it as just another set of skills.

But this doesn't say anything about them. It says something about you. You have a need to attribute a show-off motive to them. Why? You experience visceral hatred. Why? It only makes sense within the framework of your own personality.

To me it seems that when you see/hear other non-natives speak in an Asian language 1) you're emotionally violated, and 2) your knee-jerk response to it is irrational. This is why I threw in the possibility of envy. I guess it could also be jealousy (laying a claim of ownership to something with high emotional investment and guarding it). Clearly there is some kind of knee-jerk emotonal response in play. You're trying to explain it by attributing motives to other speakers as if the "fault" was in them, but that's part of a rationalization. You need to examine yourself closely to figure out why you react the way you do.

Because Chinese people go nuts when a white guy can speak Chinese well. When they get that much praise, it's hardly going to be thought of by them as simply another skill

It's unnatural.
We should stick to our own native language.
