What do I do with this racist friend of the family?

So my mum has this friend called steve who does DIY for the house and all that, also lends money and gives lifts.

The thing is he's so flipping racist, my mum allows him to come over and stuff, she tells him the stuff he says is bad and all that.

I was trying to choose a watch the other day to wear to some dinner and he comes over and says "eenie meenie miney moe, catch a n*gger by it's toe" I forgot the rest but I'm always just too gobsmacked to say anything.

Does anyone have any good comebacks?

I feel for you. My parents are racist, imagine living with that everyday.
I would say something like "Hey Steve, did you put your clocks forward the other night?" and obviously he will reply yes. You say "By how long?" and he'll say "An hour" and THEN YOU SAY "YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT IT 70 YEARS FORWARD."
I'm assuming he's white (just for the banter)

Ask him how you can get teeth like his face.
Call him a milky way and compare him to the milky bar kid.
Tell him he's not welcome in a dark room.
Mock how many white people are in prison.
Tell him he's got a small dick.
Tell him his ancestors were slave holders (I know the facts, but banter)
Mock his white van
Call him whitey

Just say hey, I don't like you being racist around me so could you stop.
Just because someone makes a racist joke does not mean that they are racist

Because he's 70 years behind.

Well it was around 70 years ago when people thought that racism was socially acceptable and were not ashamed for being so (e.g. colored toilets and whatnot). I'm implying that they live in the past, but the year can be stretched to the time of the slave trade, or whichever period of history you feel was the most racist.
I would just ignore him or tell him you find his remarks expensive. It sounds too deeply ingrained, so you wont achieve much and it could cause ruptions Hopefully time will change and you wont have to put up with his ignorance.
I don't actually bring friends back because of this guy, I am actually worried about If I ever get a girl and I have to bring her back to the house and he's there. Girls gonna run like hell.
