Seems to me that this is a pretty clear-cut case of insecurity manifesting as arrogance.

You feel yourself to be inadequate. So, you seek out individuals who are performing more poorly than yourself in order to make yourself feel better. And, well, you can't make yourself feel better without denigrating the poor performers.

Next time you find someone whose grasp of the language is not as good as yours, try to stop yourself from making fun. Instead, start thinking, "this shows that the mistakes I make are normal for a non-native speaker." Maybe you can reprogram the way you handle your own feelings of inadequacy. And maybe you can turn the source of your arrogance into a reason to feel a sense of community.
