It depends to what extent. If they're just making jokes but don't harbour any militant ill will (as in not advocating hurting people or boycotting their businesses solely for that reason, etc.), then I could generally tolerate it.

I managed to maintain friendships with hardcore religious people during my years as a very aggressive atheist. Some members of my family that I love(d) hold grudges based on race, but it doesn't make me want to cut them loose because it doesn't affect me; I'm treated well... Actions >>>> words, anyway.

In spite of how much I "hate people", I'm skilled at finding the good in most of them. Regardless of where I think I belong morally, the fact of the matter is I've only ever disconnected myself from one person for their racism, some kid I was briefly friends with when I was 11.

My grandma and I were like Happy Gilmore and his, and pretty much nothing could've swayed me against her. She was very anti-Semitic (ironic, given my reference), to the point is just laugh at the absurdity of her claims, but she was still special to me.
