I have to disagree with you. That was not a slip up or a micro-aggression. If you have a good friend who is foreign (or even just has a different regional accent) and you know they can take it as intended then it's okay to partake of a little light hearted mocking; but in an environment like that and with someone you don't know it's both highly unprofessional and tantamount to bullying. At the very least someone should have pulled that professor aside and told him that his behaviour was not acceptable. There's a time and a place and that was not it.
