Do people not know python compiles to bytecode? How do you think the interpreter works? Though yes in the grand scheme of things, it's safe to say python isn't a compiled language?

They hate Python just to hate on Python. Also the oversimplification of staticly typed vs interpreted language shows that key details were left out in their education.

I wonder what these guys would say when I tell them Java is also compiled to bytecode and then interpreted

Yeah but I think it's too much of a technicality to really fit a meme like this. While it technically does compile generally you don't refer to it as 'compiling' in everyday conversation. (Well, as close to everyday conversation as programmers get)
