This is an interesting question. But after "several weeks", the practical "statute of limitations" has already been passed, considering the issue is name-calling.
If this incident had been known immediately, a parent could either tell the coach or push his kid to do so. If I were the parent, I might try to discuss ways that my son could counter act the behavior. But mostly I take the point of view that the player will face hurtful remarks many times in his life (not necessarily related to being a minority), and he needs to learn to deal with it himself. Bullying occurs at any age. It may well be that the some people who are easily bullied have had someone else always step in in their earlier life.
