I just realized that NPR’s long-running “Prairie Home Companion” was about a small town in Minnesota and—guess what???—small towns in Minnesota are almost all white!

If that’s not white supremacy, I don’t know what is.

Also, the Car Talk brothers were Italians from Boston, and, if I’m not mistaken, most Boston Italian brothers are white.

The NPR White Supremacy Crisis is deepening as its Employees of Color get even more lucrative offers from other outlets. From the New York Times:

Audie Cornish, host of ‘All Things Considered,’ is leaving NPR.

Audie Cornish, a host of NPR’s “All Things Considered,” is leaving her job, becoming the latest prominent person of color to leave the public broadcaster.

Ms. Cornish announced her departure on Twitter on Tuesday, saying she was “joining many of you in ‘The Great Resignation’” and adding that she was “ready to stretch my wings and try something new.” NPR said her last day will be Friday.

Ms. Cornish, who started at NPR as a reporter on the national desk in 2005, has hosted “All Things Considered,” the broadcaster’s flagship news program, since 2012.

Her decision to leave her job comes after the recent exits of other prominent NPR hosts of color, including the host Noel King, who went to Vox Media, and Lulu Garcia-Navarro, who joined The New York Times.

Ari Shapiro, Ms. Cornish’s co-host on “All Things Considered,” said in a tweet on Tuesday that he was on vacation and not available for comment. He added that he would refer any journalists to NPR’s communications department for comment “on why we’re hemorrhaging hosts from marginalized backgrounds.”

“If NPR doesn’t see this as a crisis,” Mr. Shapiro said in a tweet, “I don’t know what it’ll take.”
