I'm just going to share an experience by saying that I have a younger brother (not namedropping anything) and I have regarded him in most of my life in a neutral-leaning-negative light, he's annoying sure, but he's not like really shit, or at least, I had until he started calling me a "black person", "blackie", and "monkey" (which I'm pretty sure is often compared with to black people in a really dehumanizing light) just to get a rise out of me, which first of all, is not accurate at all (I'm Asian), and second, it sounds like he was being genuinely racist against Africans just to piss me the hell off, "at the very least he isn't saying slurs" I thought to myself, months later, he recently started calling me the fucking N-word, really, really casually, just to piss me the fuck off, I don't know if he's being genuinely racist or just wanting to get a reaction out of me (I'm 75% sure it's the latter), but even then, using slurs just to get a reaction out of someone is tasteless at best, and outright derogatory at worst.

I'm just curious if anyone else has experienced the same thing as me.

    So like, what had are we talking about and are parents involved?

    Not to advocate violence but if I had a younger sibling say shit like that to me, hands would be thrown. I've almost slapped a nephew before for constantly giving attitude to my mother. I am typically a very no confrontational and non-violent person but I do not take that kind of stuff lightly. I'm more impressed with you for keeping your cool this long. People do this and when they get away with it it only makes them think it's ok.
