i'd like to hear your oppinions

there are 2 guys. one is a racist the other is a semi racist (e.g very and little)

they are continuasly making racist jokes. some very annoying some one-ear-in-other-ear-out jokes. well i'm a person that has a high limit. i can take alot of people and till now ive just ignored them. but theyre getting worse, and i'm afraid that if someone doesnt stop m now it might be too late.

option 1: i just hit them in their face when they make a other nasty joke
option 2: i keep ignoring them and do nothing
option 3: ill let the class handle it
option 4: ill tell the teachers

problem 1: theyre good friends a good friend of mine, so i dont want to hit them
problem 2: i'm running out of patience and my limit is almost reached
problem 3: i dont like snitching nor i like the teachers, and i know it wouldnt help much and i only have to talk embarrising convos with teachers etc
