Speaking English is a huge benefit

I was lucky enough to have a great English education (Arab country). Who knew Minecraft YouTube videos (and growing up on the internet basically) would lead to this.

Sources are very biased based on language. I imagine if I couldn't access these other points of view, I would be very different.

You get a lot of ridicule for being proficient in English, you are seen as abandoning your heritage, you are seen as a traitor to your people (maybe not that severe)

But I guess having Arabic too is good, criticisms coming from non Arabic speakers are dismissed most of the time. You can also check translations to deduce the views of authors online.
