8. I think it could be a 'flub', or it could be a term he uses regularly.

He might be a straight-up klan guy that forgot to control himself. He might be a racist that normally knows not to say stuff like that out loud, and thought it would be funny to slip that in there. Or, he might have just got tongue-tied.....after all, people make mistakes (like typing 'sopmething' instead of 'something')

I can't call it for sure, because I don't know the guy. I'd be interested to hear what the people that actually know him have to say.

In any case, I don't have a problem with them firing the guy. Appearances do matter.
