Personally I don't, it's just implicit biases at play. They see your name and assume you aren't a native English speaker. Lazy + insulting

It's a non-issue imo. The native english speaker thing is a general go-to comment for any reviewer who spots a typo or two.

As in, the insult is read into that comment by its recepient more often than not I'd wager.

Honestly I'm just trying to figure out the mechanism behind an 'incorrect assumption' turning into an 'insult'.

How is someone telling you your writing is so bad it needs a native English speaker to read over it in any way not insulting?

Maybe the reviewer is an ESL speaker and simply struggles with polite english. Maybe people from particular cultures just talk direct.

Dani is from the same culture as the reviewer... and British and not known for being direct (anything but! haha)

either same culture or ostensibly Anglosphere, which amounts to the same thing.
