If I were in your situation, I would probably shut up and take it and then rant about it in a "safe environment." But that's more because I'm non-confrontational and don't like getting my name out there that way, y'know? That doesn't make what he said excusable, though. Maybe you could send him an email? If it's not OK to make racial/gender stereotypes, then why would it be OK to make political stereotypes and for a professor to teach these (uninformed, no less) stereotypes as "fact" to his class.
