In a way that is both respectful and effective, I would address the peer making inappropriate remarks about a race by beginning with an expression of surprise, such as “I'm surprised to hear you say that”. Next, I would explain why the remark was inappropriate, while staying respectful and avoiding making assumptions or judgments. If this doesn't get a results, I may consider seeking out help from an instructor or someone from Student Affairs to ensure the student understands why their remark was unacceptable and helps them change their behavior for the better.

It is important to address the situation in a respectful but firm manner. If you encounter a peer making inappropriate remarks about a race, one way to address it could be "I appreciate your point of view, but I don't think it's appropriate for this space/work environment. Could we focus on the task at hand without making derogatory comments?"
