Young Turks is a commonly used phrase, a nod to the Young Turks Revolution and not about nationality. Still, Cenk Uygur is Turkish-American.

Cenk also once wrote an essay denying the Armenian genocide. And the Young Turks were the perpetrators of that genocide.

Some thoughts: 1) 21-year-old is not a child; 2) as you point out, this isn't an apology; 3) the show is still called that.
