or color or creed, it's about bad parenting. Simple as that. I know firsthand families in Sri Lanka where kids do the same, verbally abuse and even beat their parents. And majority if not all the time it's due to the misdeeds and mistakes of the parents themselves. They neglected their responsibilities, let kids mess around and have their way, allowed them to use all the expletives under the sun, and pretty much gave them the impression that their parents were their slaves. You reap what you sow..
