Answer

Have you told him how you feel?

I can only advise that you gather some information on racist stereotypes and mascots, and how they are dehumanizing, and tell him how you feel about it. It is a difficult situation when you find flaws in a loved one, all you can do is give them information and accept that they are not on the same place in their journey as you. Good luck :)
