Overheard two teenage boys making fun of another Hispanic boy struggling with his English…. AS A SECOND LANGUAGE. I wanted to punch both of them in the face.

So ... because they are teenagers it is understandable? In a few years they will be adults...and likely with the same behavior 🤷🏻‍♂️

C1 - even my 7 year old niece understands that making fun of people for how they talk is wrong.

The point is that teenagers have the maturity to understand right from wrong. Or maybe they are raised in a household where their parents spout the same ignorance. But hopefully at some point, the real world matures them further and they get their ass handed to them because their job fires them for harassment/discrimination

Man they are kids. Are you a better person for wanting to punch them in the face? (you likely would if there were no consequences).

The majority of teenagers are immature. Those immaturities lead to mistakes, which leads to lessons , which hopefully lead to maturity. While as a fellow non native English speaker, I don’t like the action committed by the teenagers, eventually life will teach them of their ignorance.

Welcome to teenagers being teenagers. But as someone who grew up in a foreign country, it's still disrespectful.

I mean it could have been worse, they grown men threatening to punch a juvenile in the face.

I would have pulled out the trusty Hadouken move.
