How do you stay calm when coping with a racist person? How do you not sink to their level?

My boyfriend recently proposed to me and his racist parents have decided to show their true colors when he informed them of his intentions towards me. They 'invited' me for brunch and blasted me with racist remarks because they wanted to "keep the family white". When I told my fiance, he confronted his parents and they tried to justify their bigotry. He was so outraged that he's decided to cut them off. I feel bad that he's had to do that but a part of me also feels very angry at the way they treated me. I chose to stay calm because in the end, my fiance chose me over his family but I kinda feel like I should tell them off. How do I let go of this anger and focus on my happiness?
