Joe Concha blasts NPR op-ed criticizing Tom Hanks on race: 'So profoundly stupid'

Fox News contributor Joe Concha blasted a Sunday op-ed published by NPR criticizing actor Tom Hanks for not being "anti-racist," despite Hanks alleging that racism was being overlooked in school curriculums.

Concha, appearing Monday on "America's Newsroom," slammed the op-ed by NPR TV critic Eric Deggansas as "so profoundly stupid."

"Boy, Tom Hanks has some audacity building his iconic career out of playing … a White guy," Concha said jokingly. "And now NPR, your taxpayer dollars at work, now condemns him literally after writing an op-ed urging for more focus in the history curriculums in schools across America on the Tulsa massacre?" 

"The writer of this piece … he's now playing the victim on social media. He's complaining about being bullied and insulted because he wrote this piece," he added. "Because it's so profoundly stupid he deserves all the criticism that he gets."
