I'm all for this dickbag getting fired but it seems these days it's "sticks and stones will break my bones but words... let's put some legislation around it." This concerns me.
Also, guy lost his job. Fine. Guy is now basically unemployable as his name and this incident is all over the place because people NEED to have this feeling of justice... or more accurately, vengeance. Punishment doesn't fit the "crime" here, IMO.

Sticks and stones is bull####. It makes it seem like as long as you're not physically harming someone you're not harming them at all. By that logic, it's not racist if you soften n*gger to n*gga, and it's not rape if she doesn't verbally say 'no'.
Should the guy lose his job? Probably. Having done no research, if his company was paying for his cab ride home after the christmas party (literally the least they could do) he must have an alright gig. A-hole racists don't need alright gigs. They can break rocks and hold the 'Slow/Stop' sign in front of the steamroller.
