Well, welcome to the traps of translating the Japanese language.

Saying one group is "wrong" isn't necissarily true. The Japanese language has very few ways to curse or swear somehow and based on intonation and situation, the gravity of the meaning can vary from "idiot" to "asshole". But basically, it's also a matter of personal interpretation, so in the end, it always depends on what you think the person meant.
It's easy to insult people in Japanese anyway, after all, there's even impolite forms of saying "you".

Not an insult, but rather a lie :P
