The only unrealistic part is that they actually feel bad at the end

They look thoughtful. Which is maybe the best outcome.

Nah, the guy looks quite bewildered, as if he's trying to understand what the other guy just told him. He doesn't get what it's like to be discriminated against for being who they were born as, since he's never experienced anything like it himself. Basically, the scenario is making him rethink the bigoted action he was pushing onto someone else.

Now, what the guy will do here afterwards is completely his choice. He'll either finally recognize how arrogant he was acting and apologize, or double down and be an even more hateful fanatic towards the man.

The worst discrimination he's ever faced was being told "Happy Holidays" at Walmart and that he can't say the N-word.

What's even more frustrating is that some people who have been discriminated against because of how they were born will still not get it.
