Anyone in a visible position has to be careful what they say at all times, on the clock and off. Some cashier in a supermarket may be able to skirt by with a tweet completely unrelated to their job made off the clock but a CEO, spokesman, public face is "working" 24/7. Think all the vile crap you want, I really don't care one way or the other since you can't police thoughts, but don't be an idiot and actually say it.
There seem to be a lot of people who aren't necessarily at the top of the food chain, but who are losing their jobs because they did (or refused to do) something while a camera was running. It's not necessarily for something racist, but often is racist or tangentially so. I noted the person who seemed to be an investment advisor at a branch location who uttered that word. I'm wondering how she's dealing with losing her job.
