A racist comment can be rude, disrespectful, mean, or ignorant without being harassment. Then there's the more complicated issue of the term "racism", which I think you'll concur does not have a universally-agreed-upon definition. By all means, delete such comments and ban the offending commenters (or even report them to the police if applicable), but reserving the right to try to get people fired is going too far. Internet vigilante justice is ugly and brutal, and I am not at all comfortable with the BBC getting involved in that game.
