32. Well, if they don't know you very well and there's not much chance of them ever doing so-
That's when you say: "EXCUSE me, but my children are bi-racial and I find what you are saying beyond horrifying!!" - then you turn around and walk away while everyone looks at the racist like the biggest asshole on earth!! :D

Or not ;)

Honestly, it depends on the situation - I will not hesitate to call someone out, but there are times that it will obviously not be productive and may make things worse. Sounds like you fell on the latter side this time - that doesn't make you a bad person.
