@minus++ :

Speaking Mandarin as one’s mother tongue says nothing other than being raised by Mandarin speakers in infancy.

What matters is not what language is spoken, but what language is spoken. @波泪的夜场:

When I was young, I was raised by dialect-speaking elders, but I was not treated well. What I always experienced in the dialect environment was a kind of oppression everywhere.

I would say that when a language is oppressively powerful and cares little about the damage it does, whatever language is used to speak for that language is a bad language.
