Anything with racial or sexual connotations I would probably say "steady on" or "that is out of order" or "you need to be careful". I would feel uncomfortable - I dislike name calling and if unchecked it can veer into bullying. They would also loose some of my respect.

I believe in confronting such things at the time, but in a way that allows the person to save face (and learn). If I admire the person, it is all the more reason to bother doing so. ]]>
