He 'playfully' (his words) says the n word and calls dark tanned people 'cardboard colored', made fun of a guy for getting a tat because he said 'his dark skin won't let it show' not to mention he only wants to marry an asian girl and I just, don't like him at all?? like I don't want to be around him ever, our moms are close and my aunt is a lovely woman but I just can't overlook this behavior, he's old enough to know better too

Changed the title of the thread from “am i the a**hole for dislinking my racist cousin?” to “am i the a**hole for dislikng my racist cousin?”. -
Kick his ass

You're an angel for disliking this trash of a human being.
-
Nah he sounds like an asshole. You don’t have to like anyone even if they’re family!
-
I think you know the answer. Despicable behavior is to be condemned, not tolerated. You're justified in disliking him.

no, you are a great person for disliking this guy
-
No, even if somebody is your family member that does not justify whatever racist things they say or do. They're the asshole anyways.
-
No he’s an asshole, not you. None of that is acceptable
-
nope
i never put up with bs like that.
ofc i can't say anything when its an adult, because unfortunately some people are being racist without even realizing it, but you should always make it clear that saying things like that is never okay.

My mom still insists she was adopted. There is absolutely no law that you have to like your family. Or anyone else for that matter.

You're not the asshole here.
I actually got shocked while reading all of this. This dude is terrible.
You're not obligated to like your family members (that's something people really should stop forcing other people to do imo).
-
Imagine if you did like him knowing all that... then there's your answer.
-
you're right to not overlook that behaviour, it'll only enable him to grow worse (than he already is)
just because he's family doesn't mean you have to support his words and actions
-
have you tried speaking to him about why he says those things?
