So me and a coworker were in the back talking and I said a rasist comment. So now everyone I work with thinks I'm rasist and I was even told they could terminate me. Is this true? The is no policy on it

Unless you have a contract which limits your employer's right to fire you, or you believe that you were fired for a reason whch is prohibited by statute (e.g race, gender, religion,etc.) you can be fired at any time for any reason, certainly including making a racist comment.
