I'm a minority (Spaniard, at an American company). I also I used to use PHP. I can 100% say that I'm glad people made fun of it because it influenced me to try other things and I was much, much better off for it. PHP was an objectively bad language (at least when I was using it, I hear it might be better now). Mockery is a very effective signalling mechanism and censoring it to comply with US corporate correctness seems a bit overbearing, to be honest.
