We're gotta break down these numbers over at @NPR. But in short, what it's doing as a public media organization is racist and unethical.

Here's why: as a latina reporter, I've been calling 2016 the latino election for years.
@NPR just finally realized it a few week ago. -
When they did report it,
@NPR decided to use the term "illegal" to describe some immigrants in Iowa. Wrong-headed, offensive, and annoying. -
Black and brown reporters know black and brown sources, too. We tell a fuller story and one that better reflects reality.
@NPR -
It's sad. With about a dozen latino reporters, I'm pretty sure I know or have nominally met every latino reporter at
@NPR. This is nuts. -
And yes, I know almost every media organization faces similar challenges—but
@NPR is different because it's taking tax money. -
I don't want my taxes funding racist hiring practices that result in inferior reporting well into the 21st century.
@NPR's gotta change.
