AIBU to report racist comments made by a couple the GP waiting room?

At the GP practice this morning. The practice has screens around the waiting areas which come up with name of patient, medical staff and room number when called up.

I was sitting behind a couple who did a running commentary between them. They used racist terms on the foreign sounding names. Then when a name came up such as John Pearson “ooh a proper name”.

I moved seats as I got fed up with the racism. They decided to move (unsure why) next to me. Then carried on. I was in two minds whether to report them. The couple would know it was me that reported them.

I am sick of racist people.

Wow you really are in a state. I’ll leave you to your hate filled life.

Objectively, that is just a really odd thing to say. The only indication of hate here has been people talking about hate crimes - which on a thread relating to racist comments seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to discuss? I'm confused! Never mind.
