>I don't understand why Python gets shit for being a slow language when it's slow but no credit for being fast when it's fast just because "it's not really Python".

What's there to understand? When it's fast it's not really Python, it's C. C is fast. Python can call out to C. You don't have to care that the implementation is in another language, but it is.
