It might have happened, but people have not called me out on it. I keep far away from swear words while learning a new language.
Something I am struggelig with however, is being seen as less intelligent and less capable because I am speaking with an accent and/or bad grammar. Constantly being seen as less valuable.
This is normally only a problem when conversing with monolinguals. Almost anyone who has expended the immense energy required to learn a second language will understand that language ability and intelligence are completely separate.
That being said, it is a shitty feeling that I have experienced many times.
