"Make an extra effort to include olive-complexioned and darker men and women, Sikhs, Muslims and devout religious people of all types in...all other news and feature coverage, not just stories about the crisis."

Isn't this statement in itself racist? They prejudge Muslims to be dark-skinned. I've looked very closely at those tv pictures from Afghanistan. It looks like a bunch of white guys to me.

I noticed that too. Way back (seems like, it was just October) one of the channels had an American reporter interviewing a bunch of Afghanis. I looked closely, and except for the customary dress, they look like hardscrabble American farmers.
