"Everyone, in my opinion, should have learned by now that bias, prejudice, or racism is totally unacceptable for professionals, especially those who are in a position of trust. The first thing I would have to reconcile is if his or her attitude can affect patient care (especially, this patient's care). If so, I would have to discuss it with his superior. If the remarks have no impact on care, that is, just identify the resident as having little integrity and professionalism, I would make it a point to discuss my misgivings with him/her, how the remarks are unacceptable, and that I don't want any part of those discussions; I would also point out that although the remarks don't necessarily affect care, they might in an unconscious way."
