this is my life
o.k. i don't mean to bother anyone with my problems, but i really need to unload somewere and this seems to be the healthest way to do so. so here it is. i am currently dating this really nice girl, who happens to be from south korea. shes out of town so i decided to go to my brothers house and have a couple of beers. after a couple of beers my brother starts making really racest comments about asians. i, of course, take issue with this and get into his face little, expecting an applogy. then out of nowhere he thows a punch, i think he may have broken my nose. luckly a friend was there to break up the fight. i just don't know what the fuck is going on. i really need someone to talk to but everyone just makes excuse for him. god i hate this shit.

What did you say that made him punch you?
Get ice on that nose. I've had a broken nose; it hurts.
Also, (at least in our house) if my brother threw a punch at me, a nose would be the least of our worries. Of course I'm bigger. 8)

I'm sure you considered that you were both drunk. Perhaps you can confront him in a non-drunk state before you make up your mind. He too may regret what happened, but doesn't want to bring it up.

yea, but i don't care how drunk you get you don't call someone a slopped eyed bitch. and yes he may regret it, but that doesn't make it o.k.
The best thing you can do is stop talking to him, making it clear that his opinions aren't worth your time.

That reminds me off that photoshopped highway sign on Fark that read "All road beyond this point is governed by vigilante rule".
Kidnap his wife/girlfriend/(boyfriend?), knock him/her out and get a plastic surgeon to give her Asian eyes.
Know well though that Korea has it's fair share of "racists" (racial purity/anti-western) too. Ignorance has no borders.
He's an asshole. Lose him. So what if he's your brother. I waste ZERO time with people like that. You do not need to ever be subjugated by assholes like that.

Indeed. But that doesn't stop them from thinking that blood ties allow them to take the most outrageous liberties which they have no right to take.
I assume you must have had some inkling he was racist. Anyway, you did the right thing sticking up for your girl. He wronged you twice. Once, by calling her a slope eyed bitch, and again, when he hit you. The onus is on him to make amends. Until then, put him on the don't exist list.
Anyway, based on my assumptions:
1) Have a doctor fix up your nose. You don't want to end up looking like Patrick Roy without also being the best hockey goalie ever.
2) Call your bro and tell him in four sentences or less, without any emotion, why you want to just forget about the little incident. Keep it short and say bye.
3) Buy your girl some flowers or some shit like that. Girls always like expensive surprises.
What you do really depends on how close your
ties are to your brother (are you part of a
family business together, how close is your
family, would it make life difficult for
your mother, etc.)
My wife and I wanted to adopt a baby from
Korea, and some of my wife's relatives said that
we would couldn't bring those particular kids
to their house. In my case, the entanglements
were very large, so we gave up (adopted a baby
from Russia, and they paid $22K to make up
the difference in cost).
If you end up staying with your girlfriend,
every family occasion will be difficult -
so it sounds like you have to choose between
the two.

Maybe he was drunk and said something dumb? Does one dumb statement make someone a racist?
'Slope eyed bitch'?
Is there a kind of beer that acts solely on the parts of the brain that deal with racial tolerance?

Well? Jesse Jackson called NYC "hiemy town". So then we can conclude that Jesse Jackson is an anti-Semite. Case closed. This is easy.
