If someone screamed go back to my own country at me I'd have a really hard time not punching them. And yes, I live in a country that I wasn't born in so I can totally see this happening. Luckily my second home country is full of kind people and not assholes so in the 7 years I've lived here I've never experienced something like that. The worst I ever dealt with was someone laughing when my pronunciation sucked. I just asked him in his native language how many languages he could speak. Shut him up right quick.

I'm a foreigner where I live but I'm white like they are and speak the local dialect so I "don't count"

I also live in a country where I was not born, and it is full of kind people. I am very visibly different from most of the population, so people usually assume I'm a tourist. They always seem pleasantly surprised to learn that I live here.

I've been here almost three years, and I haven't mastered the language yet, but people are usually really kind about my limited vocabulary.
