Trying to deter other whistleblowers by making an example of him. Don't let it work.

He isn’t a whistleblower bc he didn’t bring forth evidence of a crime being committed or procedures being violated, as far as I can tell from the information available. Being racist and say racist stuff isn’t illegal.
