Of course you did the right thing. I wish more people would face racism as directly as that and say "I will not tolerate this."
Unfortunately, if he didn't threaten you or touch you, you can't press charges. Freedom of speach allows him to say whatever he likes, no matter how brainless or hateful.

No you can't get him in trouble. You used foul language yourself. He might be able to get you in trouble. It's a free speech issue....
