Don't engage in a conversation, or argument, just simply state you won't stay around to hear that. They know how you feel, and I think enjoy making those racist remarks....people like that love to get someone going and arguing. Racism has always existed, and sadly always will; all we can do is when we hear it; say something.

That’s the good point about them enjoying arguing about the matter because it gives them platform for spewing offensive comments further. Stating that you aren’t going to participate in hate talk and going away might be a better option with people like this
