Most of the people I've met from the scary african rape invasion that is currently sweeping europe, speak at least 3 languages. Afrikaans is very close to dutch, which is close to german, and french and/or english are the most common official languages in africa. They tend to learn really fucking quickly. I've never had a good reason to go and I'm not much of a vacation person, but my mom has been to Namibia, and Rwanda recently - she was surprised that regular people would just respond in german when they hear a german accent, which is something you come to accept in italy and france, but you don't expect it when you're on the opposite side of a different continent.
I can't hold it against native english speakers when they don't learn a second language unless they're working abroad, so I think that's kind of a cheap shot. You're just not going to need it. Me personally, I generally prefer to keep the insults groin based.
