Hmm, this isn't quite something that I'd expect Seth MacFarlane to say. He's right, of course.

A proud Jew five words I've never heard before !
Next thing you know they are going to say Jews are cheap ! Forgot to include this quote:
Quote: “A guy named Adolf Hitler won an election in 1932,” the senator said. “He won an election, and 50 million people died as a result of that election in World War II, including 6 million Jews. So what I learned as a little kid is that politics is, in fact, very important.”

Can't we go one day without a Jew mentioning Hitler. It's like he pissed in their lemonade !

Didn't we all at some time conclude that using a racial slur didn't have to make one racist? People say crazy ***when they feel threatened, it's not some window exposing their "secret racism". If a black guy had said it would he be just as racist? you realize that if you don't apply the same standard based on race, that's racism right?
As far as hitting a minor, I can imagine many situations where striking someone under the age of 18 is justified. Like if I was at my friends pool party and someone little kid crashed it and started beating up on him, you better believe I would come to his aid if I felt the situation called for it. In what way was this person threatened? The only thing I'll give you is that we weren't there to witness it so we can't know what really happened. From all the accounts of the story so far there is no indication that this person was threatened. From all accounts she started off the exchange. Where did any of it say that this young girl was not invited or that she crashed the party and threatened this woman?
If you feel the need to make up events just to try to justify yourself by all means... but as I said before why, even in the heat of the moment, do you even turn to racial slurs or insulting in any way based on race? There are plenty of ways I could cuss anyone out without going there. Would you do that if you were in the heat of the moment with another white person in the same situation? Would you insult them based on their race or do you just call them an *** or some other kind of insult that has nothing to do with race?
If it were the black girl in this case insulting the white woman regarding her race then yes she would be racist. I always think it's funny when people try to defend that kind of behavior with a it's not equal argument lol..
Honestly... if you can't control a situation with multiple people to the point where you have to beat down a 14 y/o at your age then you're a bigger pussy than I thought.
1st, was this person directly threatened? We don't really know, but when did that become the standard? If someone threatens your friend are you not allowed to help them?
2nd, if you've never said anything you would be ashamed to have your mother hear because you were in a fight, then you've probably never been in a fight. I can't say I'm really surprised at that thought, your brand of smug passive aggression generates that suspicion pretty easily.
3rd, I'm not talking about a black person using racial slurs on a white person, I'm talking about a black person beating up on another black person and using racial slurs. Congrats, you missed the point again.
4th, you have a serious misconception of what teenagers can be capable of. Clearly every 14 year old listens to reason.

That really isn't a fair analysis of teenagers. They listen to reason all they time....
They just don't use it.

I've met quite a few real life Comic book guys in real life. I think we all have.
On the creation of comic book guy:
Azaria based Comic Book Guy's voice on a college contemporary named Mark who went by the nickname "F", short for "Flounder" from the movie National Lampoon's Animal House, and lived in the room next door to him at Tufts University. Hank Azaria further explained that "F" would listen to the song 867-5309 all day long and that Mark would keep a list of top five and bottom five people who he liked and hated in the dorm and post it hourly. Hank stated that he himself was always on the bottom five of the list because he complained about the playing of the music.[13] Azaria "loves that the character is an adult who argues with kids as if they're his peers

4th, you have a serious misconception of what teenagers can be capable of. Clearly every 14 year old listens to reason. Everything points to this woman starting it all off by verbally assaulting the young girl which comes from multiple sources and there has been no other narrative from anyone yet. I don't get why making something up that hasn't even been suggest by any involved parties or witnesses bears any weight here other than you flailing to justify this woman's actions somehow and play the victim card on being another target of the PC police.
I'm more surprised that you've been ashamed of doing or saying something as you seem to have an excuse for everything. I've said things I've regretted but im pretty sure none of them have to do with racial slurs being lobbed about. Also, the words were exchanged before the physical aspect of the encounter began. From all witness accounts so far the woman started off with negative comment towards the girl which kicked all of this off.
Listen Nausi you can try to spin this any way you want. It would be as racist as a white person saying the same type of things to another white person.
I'm saying that if it takes more than one grown man to be able to handle a 14 y/o to the point where they have to join in and beat em down then there's a problem with that situation. Go in and break it up? Restrain the kid sure. Adults beating on children well I don't know why you're even trying to defend this.

Ok what I meant by "1930's Jews" was the Jews in persecution, not the "tortured - bake em in the oven" Jews of the 1940s. The mass extermination part of the holocaust (the death camps part) didn't really start until 1939. You may wanna see a doctor about that knee-jerk. I hate to tell you this but the roundups and executions started in the 1930s. As early as '36 the Nazi government was rounding up Jews and the "mentally defective" for "relocation", putting them into sealed trucks, and pumping the truck's exhaust inside.
Also the death camps were devised at the Wannsee Conference in 1942.
You might want to consult a history book before running off at the keyboard.
