Things like this make me so angry. I don't always agree with silencing people who hold contrary (even racist) opinions as long as they're not acting on them, but in this case I think it's important to set an example and show that this kind of bs won't be tolerated.
I was similarly angry when I saw an article on CNN (I don't even know why I read their crap but ah well) about footballers not singing their national anthems. So many of the comments focused on immigrant players who don't sing the lyrics, as if it were some sort of crime. I participated in my fair share of sports growing up and I can't say I ever even noticed the anthem being sung, because I was concentrating on the match ahead.
But some of the comments just gave me chills--like this one I put on my Tumblr:
