Similar incident happened on a bus to a Somali guy speaking to another Somali in Somali. The assailant was black American male and old who was high on drugs. The black guy got arrested when he got off the bus as the police were waiting for him at the stop. Bus drivers can call the police in transit and they have security camera installed in public transit buses.
I take phone calls in Somali if the caller is Somali and they speak the language giving no care to people sitting next to me. It is a privilege and a sign of otherness that speak culture and pride and no one should shy away from using their own language. Many white folks who met Somalis and like the culture do make an effort to learn the language.
Studies also have shown how bilingual kids have a better brain than unilingual kids of the same age. Younger brains specially generate new cells at fast rate to accommodate the new knowledge, it is self replicating learning brain cells so the more the challenges, the better prospects for the growing brains.
