IMHO the most important thing is to have a moral foundation so you understand yourself why you believe racism/bigotry to be a bad thing.
It's hard to say one is being good when intentionally and needlessly harming another right? And racism and bigotry intentionally and needlessly harms those being discriminated against.
So you get to decide if you want to be a decent person or one of the ugly hateful people. And of course whichever one decides, they will reap the consequences, whether that's a bunch of cool friends or something else.
My recommendation to you, start viewing your coworkers as the ugly people they are and make it clear you don't hang around low-lifes without directly stating anything in reference to them.
