Antiwork

I work for an antisemite at a tiny business in Denver. What are my options?

Like the title says, I work for a tiny business in Denver, Colorado. Can’t name&shame cause I currently need this job and it’s small enough they’d know exactly who posted this immediately. Anyway, my boss consistently makes antisemitic remarks at work (ex. calling a Jewish colleague a hypocrite for enforcing mask mandates, comparing mask mandates to the Holocaust, accusing a client of lying about being in dire financial straits because “he’s a Jewish guy in New York, he’s got money,” etc). I’m not personally Jewish, but it still bothers me a lot and I’m not sure what options I may have to do something about it. It’s a family business so HR is a joke, and going to higher management also wouldn’t work because they’ve known each other since before they started the company together. Should I just quit? His attitude bothers me so much.
