As much as that guy sounds like a huge shitbag, it also sounds like you are letting him take away too much of your focus. Be careful with that. You can let it ruin a perfectly good job.

Everything hes ever said is audio recorded on the cameras, and I'm the only one in the company who knows how to use them.

If the hotel is part of a franchise or something like that, then you could send a respectful note to the bosses above your boss saying his behavior has been making you and the people you manage uncomfortable to the extent that it's interfering with your work, and that your efforts to address it personally with him have been laughed at. CC HR in that note, and have some of your underlings send their own complaints to HR too if they feel comfortable filing complaints. That should cause him enough serious trouble to get him off your ass. It sounds like that guy has no place being a manager.

Dudes got an Ivy degree so he got ahead of me immediately. A few employees have already complained. If the other 2 and myself complained he'd be gone. Dude has his good points but that kind of management won't last.

Invite him to a "Cross burning" ceremony. Turn it into an intervention. Put it on cable.

The higher you get the more blatant it can become it seems. Protected circles of school and social clubs can be hotbeds of counter normal behaviors.

He has me do my orders for our marketplace based ondemographic. Today he told me not to order funyuns because only African americans eat them...he thinks black people steal luggage racks..that if they pay in cash they are crack dealers etc
These beliefs don't offend me. It's the actions he takes. Some of the people under me don't take lightly to the baby boomer mentality that this racist stuff is just ok. If I let it go on it could bite me in the ass. He's said several things to me about people of color that blow my mind he's made it this far...
I've addressed it to him and he still acts based on skin color.

Are you familiar with the term "dry snitching "? Him casually being racist in front of staff that I'm in charge of is pretty much him telling on me for not doing my job. If she goes to the GM and says his racism is making her uncomfortable and then tells him her boss ( me ) was standing right there and did nothing o make sure it was dealt with, I'd lose my job. Also, I'm not a racist by association. I'm not jeopardizing my career for some baby booming bigot.

This isn't prison or illegal activities. Allowing someone to be a racist pos in the workplace on a consistent basis isn't acceptable.
You protect pedophiles and rapist too?

If you read, I already called him out, and even explained why hes being over the top racist, and actually offending me. Hes running his side of things based on skin color.
For the record I haven't said anything to the gm or corporate. However, if another employee pipes up and I'm found to have known, I'll be on my ass

I'd argue discrimination laws displace qualified workers from the work place
