They think it is their god-given duty to spread their meme. Anytime they hear of something like this they just parrot out whatever racist dog-whistle they have learned from their training class on the AM radio (which their opponents should be doing, instead of whining about it).
It's actually somewhat effective. They become a bully, in that people who then disagree are then marginalized by being seen as the outcast simply because no one else spoke up. Tough in your case, being the boss.

I wonder if he left your place and went running to some sympathetic white folk.
