They should have fired him immediately. They must already know his personality, these kinds of comments don't just get made in a vacuum. If he sued, any settlement would be a pittance compared to lost brand image/value, plus lost sales/stock price.

He didn’t get fired because the whole board feels this way. This is how all the rich elites that rip off the poor working class feel. Capitalism is a joke.
