Here's the part you're missing: taken on the surface, the very mechanics of communication dictate speaking in one language or another as each one has different sublteties and nuances that may mean something entirely different in another.
Sheer logic dictates that not every human should be able to understand the aliens with ease, as they were here. Again, every So. African understood the alien language with ease & so did every Nigerian. The aliens understood both English and Nigerian. Going back to my Haitian refugee example, do you think communication is so easy between them and the soldiers/officials who work there on a daily basis?
No doubt, the movie is about racism. The great irony is that the movie itself, not just the So. Africans, is racist against the Nigerians. If it were not, it would've given us at least one Nigerian character who was more than a savage and criminal, which it did not.
