It is kind of comical that NPR made racial and gender diversity their main priority…and still have a listener base that’s much whiter than the country as a whole.
- astrange 3y agoNo conflict there if you're used to their New England shows like Car Talk and Wait Wait (* pretending Chicago is New England for the moment). They were always woke, as in constantly making identity jokes about ethnic white people like Jews and Italians.
- jimbokun 3y agoThat’s kind of the opposite of woke.
- astrange 3y agoNo, it's the same thing the article is complaining about now - constantly talking about different identity groups. Those are comedy shows so they present things through comedy. Also, the panelists only ever talk about their own identity group. Non-woke would be talking about other people's.
- vanattab 3y agoThis was a joke right? Of all the shows to use as an example of being woke your going to pick Car Talk? I can't stand NPR News but CarTalk was great.
- astrange 3y agoA progressive public radio show run by two ethnic MIT graduates? Yes.
