I believe he was fired for being politically incorrect. I think a whole lot of people (if they are honest with themselves) would agree with his statement.
I wonder if this has anything to do with George Soros giving NPR millions for new hires? Is this a slam at FOX?

It's a nothing. You will never hear Ira Glass saying "I'm not a bigot, but the other day I saw a bunch of Mexicans outside of Home Depot, so I pulled over and asked if they would re-tile my kitchen floor."
A lot of people agree with that or would do that, or at least can see the stereotype as "true", but NPR commentators have no business commenting on it because it's not in line with their organization's goals.
