It's worth considering that you might not be the only one to go to HR with a report of racism from this guy. It might be his word against yours plus one or more others. Or it might be the first time, but then he might get reported by someone else in the future and he will already have had your report on file.
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.
