It would be a hate crime in this instance. The man in question was born and raised in Nigeria, the official language of which is English, spoken without a British accent of course.

If someone has turned round to him and said "speak English" simply due to his Nigerian accent then yes it would be a hate crime. It's racism, which is a crime and it's hateful.

What would you call it?
