if an apple employee posts "i hate spicks" 99% of the time people are usually not going to come to the conclusion that their company supports racism and is the face of the entire company
people aren't going to stop buying whatever product or react negatively towards the company because some dumbass doesn't like mexicans
the only people who do that are the hyper-sensitive people and the people running the company, who think that their brand will be affected by even the slightest bit of negativity
i can guarantee you that the average person doesn't give a forget

youre very wrong then. employees can sue their employer if that employer isn't reprimanding an employee for inappropriate remarks. companies get sued for a man calling a woman "honey". how do you think Sony looks if emails are leaked of managers using tribal remarks in discussions with each other?

again, its all about professionalism

not saying they should always be fired, it depends on the situation. but regardless, most corporations wont tolerate that kindve behavior because of the possible repercussions

sony won't look worse
let me use this as an example: the president is not the face of america no matter what anyone says
he may be the "leader" but he is regarded as an individual, like everyone else. he is not representative of america as a whole.
if people see that the president is acting like an starfish scumbag motherforgeter, people are usually not going to come to the conclusion that the entirety of america acts this way.
putin is the leader or president of russia, right? do you think of every russian as power-hungry and abusive?
do you think of every american as a money-hungry, islamic-hater?

if emails are leaked that include managers using tribal terms, then people are going to see them as starfishs and sensitive people are going to make a huge stufffest about the incident, as being louder about something makes it look like a whole lot more people share the feelings

the public view of the company won't change

This is where you're wrong. Just one employee who is out of conduct can cause a massive boycott. You realize that if one employee is acting like a complete and irredeemable richard then they're going to take their business elsewhere.

A company is as bad as its least respectful employee. This is why they must be fired or forced to remove their opinions, as one customer who was disatisfied will write their review online, it will garner attention in the eyes of the public and the business' ratings will drop drastically.

This is how public relations works. As president, you can simply act a fool and get away with it, although it will hurt your chances for a 2nd term. As a business, if you let that stuff happen, you'll get sued, lose so much money and customers, you'll be forced to let off other employees, which will ruin their lives. Sometimes bankruptcy is a reality for these scenarios

from within the country you may think this, but i genuinely know several americans who think of 90% of russia as putin-like, and people from outside of america that think we're minority-hating nationalist richardwads.

it's like a company's ceo. barely anyone can name apple executives beyond "tim cook" and they think he's progressive because he came out as gay. that's literally all most people know about apple, and they think of tim cook/steve jobs and almost nothing else when they think about who they're buying from - country figureheads are almost the same.
