NPR deemed Wu’s win a ‘letdown’ for some after she defeated African-American candidates
NPR took heat Tuesday after its report that Asian American Michelle Wu’s, D., election win in Boston was considered a “disappointment” to some for being chosen over Black candidates.
“Michelle Wu, an Asian American, is the first woman and first person of color elected to lead the city. While many are hailing it as a turning point, others see it as more of a disappointment that the three Black candidates couldn’t even come close,” NPR tweeted. It deleted the tweet after online criticism, although the thrust of the story remained the same.
The linked article headline reads, “Cheers and some letdown as 1st elected woman and person of color becomes Boston Mayor.”
Another reason they should NOT receive a penny of government funding!
