In many cases and many states yes. You can be fired without reason.

I'm not her boss. But if I were her boss, I wouldn't want her working for me.

It's not about patience or being cool with it, it's not caring what some low life trash calls you in a store. Who cares? Who cares? I've been called a B by people who don't know me. Do you think I care one whit what that person thinks of me? I could not possibly care any less what that person thinks of me. Were I to have kids walking with me, I sure as heck wouldn't get into a confrontation and look like a dumbass, I'd either ignore it, or if one of the kids said, "They just called you a bad word" or used the word, I'd tell them just what I said here: Who cares?

Because when you let it get to you like that, it's essentially you saying that either they could be right, (you feel the need to defend yourself) or you think they are above you, (saving your honor). There is no reason to get into it with some random stranger who wants to call you things. Who cares what they think.

"Your opinion of me is none of my business."

Correct. I have been a victim of this already. Online has plenty of bad actors amongst the SJW, White Nationalist, pro Black woke conscious, radical feminist and alt right echo chambers who do not have the best intentions for you depending on your viewpoints. And will force employers to fire certain employees with viewpoints or ideologies to be fired. The above groups I have mentioned have mobs, or fake mobs who will force employers and landlords to sever relationships with employee or tenant. Yes their is at will employment where one can be fired for anything. However firing someone for anything has to regulated to what happens at work. Not on your own free or personal time, unless publicly embarrassed your company outside of work by mentioning them. The woman did not break any laws, however saying something racist can be applied to the law as harassment.

The best advice for an employer is not to fire someone for doing something sexist or racist outside of work. It would be best to suspend such workers without pay, and teach them a valuable lesson. kneejerk firings do more harm than good. Case in point Roseanne Barr who cant not find work, due to Hollywood black listing her, but now she has become a Martyr amongst the Intellectual Dark Web who are anti SJW, Anti Feminist, but also anti white nationalist and anti white supremacist. Just recently Disney rehired James Gunn for his sexist, pedophiliac tweets he made a decade ago, and his tweets were exposed by an Alt-Right figurehead known as Mike Cernovich. Again like I said, Alt-Right does not have the best intentions for people, like many other echo-chambers.

She works in education, and saying such stuff publically can be very toxic in the academia envioernment. Especially since academia industry is already very left politically, and ethically. Also those that work in academia do not believe in forgiveness.

Funny you should mention that because I was just thinking of that episode. In that case you had a grown man in the audience heckling the performer, trying his best to humiliate the performer in such a way that cut to essence of his being, telling him that he was useless in the job he does. Richards then reacted and went to the thing he thought would humiliate and devalue the heckler the most. The heckler then came back, not with a return heckle, he instead shifted to the "That's not fair" game we all played as kids, when we dished it out, but couldn't take it in return. You don't get to do that as an adult. If you want to dole out pain, you need to be ready and willing to accept pain. There was no victim in that case.

And I won't even get into grown adults using the expression, "the N-word." What are we, five? If anything, you weaponize that word even more by avoiding it and coming with some infantile representation of it.

Stupid people acting stupidly is not necessarily a racial thing. Both parties involved could likely have acted just as stupid had the other party been of their same race.

But Black people dont hurl racist insults at each other to antagonize them. Only white people do that in order to start a fight, which is what this woman was doing. Thats the difference. She does what any person that has no home training would do when she wants to escalate a situation, to get beat up, then claim to be a victim. Thats the ultimate trash mentality, whether shes racist or not.
You've got to be kidding.
