There was the following comment on a Facebook page today:
"Why don't you "Germaldo" go back across the border you came from..."
It was designed to attack a public figure for his ethnicity (Puerto Rican). I did not report it, however, because I felt like Facebook wouldn't listen, anyway. For example (as if enough examples have not been highlighted here):

I don't report content unless I can reasonably assume that the content is a Facebook TOS violation. Also, there is Facebook content that is obviously racist, sexist, etc. that Facebook chooses to not remove.
Therefore, then, at least 1,000 of us need to speak up and hold Facebook to its own TOS.
