No one is telling you what to say or not say, but certainly expect to be called out for blatantly racist and bigoted statements.

Oh, you can say whatever you want. Just be careful when you're on camera, in front of millions of people. You probably don't want to say on camera something like "I walked into a room the other day where there were about a dozen Catholic priests and my a**hole instantly clenched up."

Not sure weather he deserved to be fired or not for this incident... he was reprimanded a few times during is tenure for sexual harassment and that may have weighed in on their decision.
That being said, ANYBODY who feels fear when they see someone in muslim garb is flat out a coward.... sorry, you should maybe go have your head examined or maybe just got to your mommy's house and have her dig out your old security blanket... go home... cower in the corner in the fetal position and suck your thumb and never fly again.

Oh please, it is just natural instinct to be uncomfortable around people who don't dress like you or look like you.
Whether they be Crips, Neo-Nazi's, in Haz-Mat suits, or ninjas.
And Juan said he regretted acting that way, but it was just instinctual.
Like others have said, the actual hijackers didn't dress that way, so it isn't a rational fear.

Do you have a valid source or is this just an attempt to paint a black man as evil?
Juan never used the term “scared” or "fear" he used the term “worried or nervous” big difference.
Juan wasn’t on NPR when he made those statements so how does NPR have any right to fire him? I hope he sues big time. It’s time to wean NPR from the federal dole.

I don't think it mattered if he was on NPR or not....was he representing NPR when he made the statement? frankly I don't know the circumstances well anough to answer that. Was he speaking as a reporter for NPR....or as a private citizen? Do you know?

NPR is a private employer and is able to legally fire any employee as long as it is not in violation of the law or of his contract. NPR is not on the public dole. It receives no direct federal funding. The taxpayer does fund the CPB which may issue grants to individual stations who in turn may subscribe to NPR programming. NPR is funded by its subscriptions, but the majority of its funding is by large corporations and by endowments such as the Kroc (McDonalds).
Fox News actually receives more in direct federal funding than does NPR, such as military recruitment advertising. Perhaps we should be seeking a ban on federal funding for Fox News.
