at least as of now, it’s not illegal to be a jackass or a racist.

Was he fired for illegal activity? Is that the only reason a person can or should be fired?

Of course, it should be at a company's discretion to fire an employee for "silly behavior," for "acting foolishly," or for "making tasteless jokes." Even making "un-PC statements" should be sanctionable by summarily firing the offending employee, right?
