At work, Sally is walking by her Supervisor's office during his break. Sally overhears the Supervisor talking on his personal cell phone to a friend. The Supervisor is expressing his opinion that some of the workers at the company are lazy, and refers to their ethnicity as a reason. Is this an ethical dilemma for Sally?

No, it is a private opinion held by her Supervisor and there is no evidence that there is a related impact on the workplace.
