Uncomfortable Work Situation

It is hard to pin down the worst uncomfortable situation that a bigoted partner who I used to work for created, but here is an example:
We went to lunch with a couple of banker clients. One of them is best friends with partner's niece's bf/fiance (whatever), who is hispanic and who also works for the bank/client (we'll call the bf/fiance John for ease of description here). So partner says to the guy at lunch (paraphrasing) "Oh, I really like your friend, John. My brother was really opposed to him dating his daughter at first because he's hispanic, but I think he's really good for her anyway. I mean he's a banker. He's really made something of himself."
He always said offensive stuff at client events. And if you ever tried to explain to him why stuff he said was offensive, he really didnt get it. But he was a good Baptist, if that makes it better.
