It`s a guy that said, in a nutshell that black people are ignorant. I`m black. IDK if he thinks it`s ok because his little siblings are half black or what. Anway he`s said it on two occasions in front of me. First I was talking to his sister over the phone and he said (to his 1/2 black sister) "you sound like an ignorant black woman" No lie. First he said it then she repeated it as if it was no big deal. Secnd time she made a comment about Mexicans liking the sun and he said "Jeez, what are you gonna say next. That all black people are ignorant?', while his eyes were glued on me. It`s weird because he seemed to be insulting me and defending me at the same time. I don`t want to be mad at him(or hear him say that again) What should I say???
Update:Seriously guys!! He`s nice besides that and I like him. I`ts like he doesn`t get that it`s rude. How do I let him know it`s bothering me?

do no longer replace your character, it won't make you happier because you comprehend that is not any longer you. i understand you may hear this plenty yet once you may no longer settle for the type you're already, how do you anticipate human beings to settle for you. that is not any longer correct what everyone else thinks, get sturdy pals. undergo in strategies, while looking pals, high quality > volume.
Just go up to him and tell him how you feel.
I know a few people who make racial comments almost all the time. I'm white, but it still offends me because it's just downright rude. And they do it to purposly hurt people's feelings. I was born in Japan(although I'm not Japanese), and they kept teasing me about bombings. How immature.. I told them to stop, and they wouldn't listen. They know it bugs me. I don't talk to them anymore. :/
So, maybe he'll listen. It's worth a try. :)
I would tell him point-blank that you find his comments offensive, and would appreciate it if he didn't talk like that around you. His response will tell you if this is a "friendship" worth keeping.
Ignorant does not mean incapable of knowledge. Your racism claim is unfounded. And you being black is irrelevant, since you are not a racist person.
i agree with jared sikes answer (just kidding or am i?)
anyway jus remember that its not true
dont let him offend you because be saying that he is being ignorant himself
im black and im proud of my race
i still agree with jared sikes answer
Tell him that he is entitled to his opinions but when he is around you he needs to keep it to himself and not to bring it up.
How do I approach 'friend' who makes racial comments?
With your right hand across his face.
Tell him he's a racist idiot and stop talking to him.
