After Paris Attack, Fox Anchor Suggests Skin Color Can Help Identify ‘Typical Bad Guys’
(Media Matters) – Fox News anchor and Supreme Court correspondent Shannon Bream reacted to a Paris terror attack by suggesting certain skin tones are more typical of “bad guys” than others.
On the January 7 edition of Fox News’ Outnumbered, the panel of hosts discussed the terror attack on the offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo that left 12 dead. Co-host Kennedy Montgomery suggested profiling may not always be an effective prevention policy because “sometimes bad guys don’t look like bad guys.”
Bream echoed the sentiment and wondered whether the ability to identify the skin color of the assailants in Paris would have helped law enforcement in this case.
