"St. Louis TV Station Issues Apology for Anchor's Use of 'Colored' to Describe Minority Homeowners"

A St Louis TV station apologized after a white news anchor referred to minority homeowners as "colored," a term with a history of segregation and racism. The anchor and the station's general manager issued apologies, and the National Association of Black Journalists criticized the incident, calling the term outdated, offensive, and racist. They urged the station to retrain employees on diversity, equity, and inclusion issues and invest in recruiting and retaining Black employees.
