Liking bigots

I just came back from my neighbour's house across the road. They are a very friendly couple in their late 50s or early 60s and I get on with them quite well but occasionally they come out with a pearler of a comment that reminds me 'oh yes, I'd forgotten you're a racist'.

For example today Keith (not his real name) commented on how he shouted at some 'Arabs in pyjamas' that they don't belong around here.

My dilemma is this: Regardless of all this I still like them and I can't be bothered arguing against their bigotry (mainly because I know their opinion won't change).

Should I care?
