Linguistics
When you speak to a co-worker in front me in a foreign language, I immediately assume it is some derision at my expense. Since I allot the normal amount of disdain towards you based on this assumption, you may as well speak plainly. And for me, it isn't a stretch to dislike and distrust you based on just being someone I don't know, but for the general public, muttering and sneering in your native tongue is not the best method to create goodwill.

This is a normal human reaction to the "unknown", if you really meet people who use foreign language in front of you, then, you can correctly assume two things, first, they really speak about you in a manner you'd better not understand, or, second, they are too stupid to realize what they are doing. Make your choice.
