Was this very recent? If you like him at all I think there's still a window to go back to him and say 'by the way that was unacceptable, if I hear that again from you I will take action'. If you just generally think he's a prick grass him up to HR and don't feel bad about it.

I suppose it depends where @campervangogh works. If it’s a reputable company with an efficient HR department with correct procedures in place then it’ll be dealt with. If it’s a builders yard then it’s unlikely to end well.

Happened yesterday when returning from an interview (we both work for a large print and online media company) when he made the comments. I don't particularly like the guy, but now his true colours have been shown, I'll avoid all bar professional communication.
As for the HR route, it will be a his word against mine situation, and moved to the too hard basket with the likely outcome counseling, and a target on my head.
Just really disappointed I didn't call him on it at the time, and it's been gnawing at me since.

I hate myself for not calling out a "work colleague" for his racism after referring to Chinese people as "chinks" three times in a conversation.
Professionalism prevented me from calling him a cunt.
Weakness prevented me calling him out.
Legal reasons prevented me from belting him.
