Here's a list of suggestions and techniques, compiled from various people's responses to the question "How do you deal with racist people?"
1 Convey disapproval or discomfort, without provoking a defensive reaction.
2 Question their use of the words or action so you can gauge their intent: "Why do you say/do that?"
3 Convey your feelings: Let them know how the comment or joke makes you feel.
4 Question their fear. These can be very useful moments to question someone's fear and ignorance.
5 Don't get triggered. Racists want to push your button to get you angry. Just laugh and keep walking.
Research found that speaking up is good for the bystander (lasting satisfaction of having done something), good for the victim of the racist attack (feel a sense of belonging and less damaged by the abuse) and possibly good for the offender (bystander action disproves that their prejudice is the norm and may make them less ready to express it) [1].
"People who are racist think they have go more support in society than they do. If you don't say anything they'll continue to think that. If you do, they start to reassess," says Prof Yin Paradies from Deakin University.
One person challenging a racist comment in a calm and measured way in a train, a bus, at a party, at work can have a profound influence on all those who witness it.
