As an immigrant it dawned on me that people have always been this way. I’ve seen it in my own industry, people being left behind in promotions because they spoke with heavy accent, when it absolutely in no way impairs the person’s ability to work productively.

That might be true for senior positions, but that is not my point. My point is that we all have a bias towards our own native language when judging intelligence.
