Wow!
I am amazed. A 'slightly racist' comment like that about a patient or coworker could get her fired on the spot in our hospital. Our institution has a zero-tolerance policy for any kind of discrimination - gender, class, race, language, sexual orientation, age... They even have a dedicated office for diversity, and are very attentive to any sign of possible discrimination - to make sure that it is shut down right away. I am very surprised that someone thinks she can make a comment like that out loud and get away with it.
