The Firing of Juan Williams From NPR

Does the importance of diversity also mean we should never question a black man, if'n he is perceived to be the token diverse one?

I guess I see it as (and I hate this phrase) two sides of the same coin: imagine if Juan wasn't black, but white. I'm not being argumentative: do you think there would have been a different reaction? I'm only asking here (regardless of the rock throwing to cow me into some corner, this is one specific issue I haven't found a "comfortable" side.)

What say y'all?
