What Should I Do?

I just finished reading a short story written by a kid in my high school. In an attempt to be friendly, I offered to read this story of his. I read the first few pages, and was offended right away by his careless use of cuss words and racist expressions. I shrugged it off though, telling myself that that's how he meant for the story to be. Then he crossed the line, he described a female character in a very insulting manner. And he continued to do so throughout the story! I threw the story on the floor and ran out of my room in disgust. I plan on confronting the kid, but I will honestly say I'm nervous. Is it really worth risking my reputation over a couple of insulting comments? I'm not sure. I'm new at my school, and I'm quiet... so it's not like there's a whole lot at stake... but still.
