sorry i need points

Answer 2

Etiquette? Depends on which country you are in. It also depends on whether the joke is just poor, or actually racist (presumably it is a comment about your origin / name / culture). In the UK, you could maintain a stony faced silence, and change the subject to the weather.  Alternatively you could politely (but with a slight smile and a hint of steel) comment 'Well that's the first time Ive heard that one!"

In the US, I guess you would be more upfront and pleasantly but assertively state that you don't find the comment amusing. Then change the subject.

The key is to try and keep smiling, but communicate your displeasure subtly.
