I would say

“Just FYI, the assumption that size-based hatred is the last socially acceptable prejudice is steeped in racism, sexism, classism, and a whole host of other isms. To say this denies so much of the hatred and bigotry that happens to marginalized groups that is still ‘socially acceptable’… and furthermore, even if you believe it to be true, saying so doesn’t really help us do anti-oppression work at the intersections of identity, and leads to the ‘who has it worse’ oppression Olympics (which is helpful for no one). It is definitely important to talk about fat stigma and to try to educate people about it, but we can do that without saying this really problematic thing.”

You could also just link him to Peggy McIntosh’s famous white privilege article. He might get it just by reading that.
