The Firing of Juan Williams From NPR

Lamplighter · 10-21-2010, 04:27 PM

Do Catholics, Jews, or Amish in their customary attire make Juan nervous too ?
Probably not.

There's a bit of irony there...
People (used to) say that sort of thing about being on a bus with black men,
but of course Juan is not bigoted like those people.

In my opinion, these sort of events are part of the way society changes for the better.
When people see there are negative consequences of bigotry,
they tend to think twice about belittling the minority.
