We are becoming a society where anybody can point a finger at another person to bring them to the attention of the police simply for something they have said!

If they've said something racist then yes, take it to the police, if they believe it isn't valid, then fine.
For all we know she actually said "I dun wanna work wiv no paki's who can't even speak english"
You again appear to be falling into the trap of believing we know everything about this case, we weren't there, everything that took place hasn't been reported.
Have you not considered what might have been said to justify reporting the incident to the police? Or do you consider nothing the girl could have said to be worthy of further action?
Have you considered that the LEA's policy is that any racist comments of a serious nature are to be reported to the authorities?
Have you really?
