They have no reason stop, that's why it hasn't happened yet. They may need to be embarrassed into changing their ways by experiencing the shunning they would like to inflict on others. I feel the same way about homophobes. If you don't want gay people around you, I don't want you around me.
It's ignorant and shameful to be a bigot. That would be motivation enough for me, but I don't have that problem.
Maybe we should tell our bigots that until they come to a realization that the color of their skin doesn't make them better than someone of another color, and that we don't want them near us or our children spreading hate, they'll get lonely.
If all white people tell their bigot friends, if they have any, I can't be your friend as long as you're a racist, it might make a dent in the number of bigots in this country.
