None of it makes any difference to what is going on here.
My OH (born here, paid tax all her working life, now studying law to be a UK-practising solicitor) often speaks Gujarati in public to her sister (born here, paid tax all her working life, now a UK-serving police officer). Obviously both look Indian (parents moved here and worked all their lives).
If they were seen speaking their language at a hospital I'm guessing you (and indeed Gary) would have no idea how long they'd been in the country for.

I expect prejudice because how often the same people demonstrate it.
