There are so many things wrong with this, I hardly know where to begin.
"People who support immigration laws are making it very difficult to be a brown person."
Wait, did he actually say "brown" person? How is that not offensive?
I absolutely support you saying something to him. The reason he thinks he's allowed to say things like that is because he's been getting away with it for too long. 99% of his students probably agree with him and therefore never challenge him. If nothing else, you speaking up will make him think twice about making sweeping generalizations.
The important thing will be to not get visibly upset or emotional, because then he can just write you off as being too sensitive.
