EDIT: Call her out in what sense, Moonlit? During the incident itself, or during the aftermath? Honestly, I'd keep my mouth shut if I had been on that tram, because that sort of behaviour, and the anger she incites is frightening in an enclosed space.
But that's precisely the point. It's a commonly held belief that she is virtually alone in her bigoted ranting, right? Yet virtually everyone (including myself) would be... cautious, when it came to confronting her on how racist and wrong she is.

She won't get "Punished" for this, she won't get told in a way she understands how wrong she is. She'll take any public outcry as reason to be more and more racistly brash because she doesn't care. It's hard to see how a change can be forced, but a bit of public solidarity against such rants probably wouldn't hurt.
