Are you serious? You would have chose to stand there and get beat with a pipe or jack by a gang of armed thugs and leave your family at their mercy once you've een beaten, possibly killed He had every right to draw. He did not fire. However if the punk continued to approach he would have been justified. With his family there he had no choice to retreat. Punks lucky he's not dead.
Open carry here in Az. There have been a number of times I've driven up to get gas or run into a store in a shady neighborhood where I would be getting evil looks only to have all eyes turn away as I exited with my Sig SP2022 or M&P Shield on my hip. If perps knew there was a 90% chance the "victim" was armed there would be far fewer muggings, rapes, armed robberies, etc, or less crowded jails.
Carrying a firearm is a huge responsibility. Hats off to the OP. glad you and your family are safe. It just shows how ther are still plentry of racists out there. Punishment should be a walk through Compton having to shout what he called you. What a coward this guy was. He didn't even have the guts to face you without a weapon even with a gang behind him.
