Listen as this brown brain-trust (Hey, she brought up the "brown" business!) sighs some relief that it was a white guy who carried out the horrific crime in Arizona. The takeaway line:
"It’s safe to say there was a collective sigh of brown relief when the Tucson killer turned out to be a gringo."
Wow. If the shooter had been black instead of white, would she have expressed her relief that the Tucson killer turned out to be a "nigger"? I doubt NPR would have allowed her thoughts to go on the air so easily. Saying "gringo" however? Meh.

Can we de-fund NPR now? Oh, and after listening to this, they fired Juan Williams because... why?
