Actions have consequences. Unless Peter is clearly able to demonstrate how he has changed as a person over the last 10 years then it is grounds for dismissal. There have been examples where people have said things in the past that were socially acceptable but is no longer acceptable today but have shown they are different people and did not lose their job (or got cancelled). Kevin Hart comes to mind.
I don't know what you mean by bad business either. It's actually good business not to alienate your fan base keeping a guy who many think are racist.
