I don't know what you mean by "framing" here, but the takeaway for me is that speaking someone's language doesn't necessarily earn you "points".
E.g. XiXiDu doesn't say, "Well, this may be gangster rap, but at least it's in German!"
(In retrospect, I've had opportunities to notice this before. For instance, Amanda Knox seemed to get less "credit" for speaking Italian than I would have expected.)
