An example. If a white tone male, born in Panama, wrote a book about the First US president, and a book about the Irish immigration struggle, then go on and talk about a fear of black people in the airport. Would you conclude the speaker is a bigot? Could go either way, debatable. But NPR never called Juan a bigot either, nor is he being 'Muzzled', he simply broke the rules of good journalism. HOWEVER, I would conclude Juan has some major cultural issues he needs to over come, perhaps by joining a reach-out program, or some good old fashion hard core therapy. If you fear Muslims at the airport, then you just let the terrorists win.
