Public radio programs have been interviewing Felix Sanchez of the National 
Hispanic Foundation for the Arts, who claims that announcers for 
Univision's coverage of the World Cup (which brings a bigger audience to 
the net as it has done for past Cups) have been calling dark-skinned 
footballers "morenos," which he considers a racist term--Sanchez with NPR's 
Michael Martin on the soon-to-depart "Tell Me More":

And on PRI's "The World":

Lively comments on both posts, with Sanchez participating in both.
