I would start by respectfully bringing the situation to their attention and expressing my discomfort with the language. By having a honest conversation, I would try to explain why this language is racially charged and problematic. Additionally, I would emphasize that such dialogue does not align with our company's values or mission statement. If they continue to use this type of language, then I recommend reporting the situation to someone in a higher position of authority so that appropriate disciplinary action can be taken accordingly.

In such a case, the best way to discourage the use of outdated racial terms is to address it in a private and confidential manner by emphasizing why this language is problematic. In addition, making your colleague aware of relevant industry regulations and standards that forbid such language should help prevent any potential social harm.
