Is being charged not enough?
IMO the only reason it's even semi-acceptable that he's being fired, is that it was in fact coming back from a company sponsored event, and the company was paying for the cab.

Your job is not an inalienable right. If you're going to spout off like a racist, people aren't going to like you.
The company is within its rights to deem what is acceptable in its code of conduct for employees.
