The article doesn't delve into the problems for people who speak English as a foreign language. I believe there is a lot more discrimination going on there versus two different dialects of English spoken by native speakers.

Good point. And that applies to nonnative speakers of other languages, too. Immigrants to countries like France, Sweden, and Japan are likely to experience such discrimination even if they speak the national language fluently, as are linguistic-minority citizens of multilingual countries like China and Russia.
