He abused your race, colour and religion?
Sorry, I don't get this either. At least not from a role-playing perspective.
I am an Amarrian involved in Faction war. Amarrians are religious to the point of being zealots, and enslaved the Minmatar (presumably) because they believed them to be an inferior race. Some of the Minmatar, such as the Brutors, are dark-skinned in appearance, Sebeistors seem to be oriental looking. That would make at least some, if not all Amarrians racist intolerant religious zealots. There was no help for the persecuted Minmatar for hundreds if not thousands of years until the Amarrians tried to enslave the Jovians, and got their lily-white butts handed back to them on a tritanium platter. This is the story line of EVE.
I can't stand racist religious zealots in real life. I wish they didn't exist at all. As role-play in EVE though, it's a fun role to play. It also gives my Minmatar opponents a role-play reason to seek me out and kill me. It makes it a little more fun for them too, I think. It provides a bit more meaning to Faction war than just getting kill-mails.
So really, abusive remarks about someone's race, religion and colour doesn't hold much weight in EVE. I mean certainly, if he was directing these insults to you as a person...but how would he know? Lucky guess? You also have to remember that there are a lot of 12 year old playing EVE. It helps to have a thick skin, or develop one.
I have an alt that does mining too, so I understand your frustration. However, EVE is all about 'helping yourself', even if that means joining a corporation of miners with Orca support, PVP skills, and a guard flying a battleship to protect against gankers. I almost got ganked as a miner once too, and I would have lost my Retriever if it wasn't for my drones (and CONCORD of course). My suggestion to you would be to train up your drone skills and get some tech 2 Hobgoblins. Expensive yes, but they should be able to handle pretty well any tech 1 frigate. Also, keep aligned and stay aware. If someone aggresses you, pull in drones, warp away to station. Dock.
Furthermore, you could make A LOT more money and learn a lot more by running missions than you can from solo mining.
