Because you want to keep your job?

And, sometimes, you have to play along with the racism, misogyny, etc. as well as tolerating it. Getting fired for calling out customers and co-workers/bosses likely won't end well for you.

Does nobody know how to tactfully say 'shut up'? The right tone around 'that's very interesting' will do it. No one will fire you for being slightly sarcastic when your feelings are hurt. (Though I agree customers are the iffiest people to be passive aggressive with as they'll have a limited time to know you as a person and wouldn't be inclined to give you any slack.)

Customers, yeah, you just kind of have to deal with unless they cross some codified lines ("hostile" or "sexual harassment" claims come to mind). But I find it really baffling that so many people think you can't politely tell someone they're making you uncomfortable without getting fired.

I have seriously never had a job where this was a problem, if handled respectfully and briefly. Like, no, do not go on a tirade about how disgusting/awful/whatever they are, but making it clear that you're uncomfortable is rarely a problem. I mean, yeah, I've been labeled a "bleeding heart liberal" in my time, but never had serious issues with co-workers or bosses over it. Because most of your co-workers/supervisors are also supposed to be polite, whether through official codes of conduct or simply workplace ethics.

Maybe I've been lucky with my workplace situations. I'm sure there are for sure some jobs where this code of politeness isn't the case, or where certain individual assholes are always going to be assholes, but as a general rule, it is actually possible to tell someone to shut up without actually losing your job.
