I disagree. The definition of racism hasn't changed all that significantly. What has changed is society's ability to see it, perceive it, and react to it. Not to mention the will to do the same.

In the past, employers simply didn't have the will to fire people over racist things they saw within their company, unless it was overt, public, and/or actually directly harmed someone. They could totally have done so if they wanted to, but it wasn't something that typically impacted business unless it fell under those categories.

Now they do, and it largely relies on society being more aware of it.

I refuse to let assholes be assholes under the fear that they'll become worse. That is essentially negotiating with terrorists.

Dont negotiate, educate. Racism should be treated the same as sexual harassment to an extent. Have them take a course and give them a chance. If they dont learn then fire them.
