Actually, it's not. It depends on whether or not the OP is actually exaggerating. For all we know, the OP could be stuck in a lousy fandom, sure, but the OP could also be complaining about five people out of hundreds of reviewers.

Genuine question here: do many people who are ESL automatically arrive to the conclusion that any advice concerning getting a beta is actually a thinly-veiled statement that native speakers think only ESLs write in bad English? Because I'd like to let you know, with all sincerity, that this isn't the case. If I offer to beta an ESL, it's because I know that it's difficult to learn multiple languages and would genuinely like to help. Native-speaking betas are a good tool to use for reasons that aren't "because ESLs don't write well." On the contrary, it's because some of them - and certainly not all of them, sure - have been trained to catch the tiny details.

So I agree with you in saying that ESL =/= bad English, but not everyone who offers to beta read for you are assuming you don't have a grasp of the English language. If we can read what you're saying, chances are we get that you get it. We're just trying to help.
