Play the game I suggested with other news sources. It won't work. NPR panders to a specific class of people obsessed with identity politics and activist causes. And the hyphenated last names are generally white people.
- dwater 3y agoI went to look at the staff for All Things Considered, one of their most popular shows. I see zero hyphenated last names (and zero 3 hyphenated names). Perhaps you are biased. https://www.npr.org/2020/01/01/394867832/the-all-things-considered-staff https://www.npr.org/2020/01/01/394867832/the-all-things-cons...
- r2_pilot 3y agoI played your stupid game and literally none of what you said was accurate. Maybe it's because I live in a red state. Or maybe it's because you did not take measurements of your observations and fell victim to confirmation bias. Either way, waste of my time (and yours). Be better.
- acdha 3y agoLooking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NPR_personnel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NPR_personnel I see two people with hyphenated names who are white, two who aren’t, and far, far more who don’t have hyphenated names. I have no idea what this absurdity was intended to prove but it’s clearly untrue even before you compare it to other news organizations to see whether NPR is unusual. I would also suggest that by the time you are focusing on whether reporters are white rather than their work, you’ve already lost whatever you’re arguing.
