The thing is, the only thing keeping us from jumping in all sort of immoral actions (the set of acts gennarilly understood as immoral in a certain social context) is the emotional response we have. Very few, in the best scenario, have rational justifications for moral evaluations of various acts. This is a very difficult thing to ask, specially to the general population. Even among philosophers, moral judgments grounding is a difficult task, and general spirit is that there is none.
Speaking in a foreign language comes with a certain inferiority complex and, I believe, that influences one's evaluation of the morality of certain actions. Specially when one feels part of a larger cultural context in which morality is less objective and much more like in the movies. So, yeah.
