All people are the same. Differences like hair color, eye color, skin color don't really matter, we are all just people.

Throw someone out at 37K for racist comments?

If we threw out everyone at 37,000 feet for stupidity, this planet would be pretty sparse.

Again, while I don't agree with racism, I also don't believe you can legislate what people think. You go down a dangerous road if you start doing that. I just note their stupidity, and figure Darwin will take care of them at some point.
Over the years, I've completely released myself from the desire to b*t*h slap any of those individuals, and I simply "clown" on them using the questioning techniques combined with a relative mother, sister, or wife input. . . as in:

Wasn't that your mother/sister/wife I met in the grocery store parking lot last night? If it was, tell her that was the best "he*d I've ever had. . .

. . .it was your relative, right? I could be wrong, but she truly had a family resemblance to you! Your eyes. . .your lips!

If they fall for it, as most do, it takes all the race inputs away and makes it a battle of wits. Those I'll usually win; either way, walking off, I'll still smile saying "Damn, whoever she was, she was good! If you see her, tell her that for me."
