Come on, they're about as diverse as America itself is: https://www.npr.org/about-npr/179803822/people-at-npr

In fact, Black people are proportionally overrepresented relative to the U.S. population at NPR, while Hispanics are underrepresented.

Sunday morning's Weekend Edition host, Ayesha Rascoe, is a Black woman. Unfortunately they lost Audie Cornish, also a Black woman, from All Things Considered. She was great.

I do think it's fair to argue that NPR is far more liberal than it ever was, and Uri Beliner's inside story provides some credence to that. But that's different from being "white." (Keep in mind that the vast majority of Trump voters are white and would bristle at NPR's news programming; support by non-whites is relatively low.)
