If this guy is open to any kind of dialog with you I see nothing wrong with continuing to let him know you don't want to hear his prejudicial comments. I have had a few friends and aquaintances berate me for some of my negative comments in the past and it caused me to re-think some things.
Of course some people are so set in their ways that they're not worth the effort. I have worked with a few hardcore racists and some are just not worth engaging in a discussion or a fight but once they learn your take on things they will usually not mouth off in front of you.
