Detroit News Anchor Apologizes For Shocking Comment About City's Arab Population

"A news anchor apologized Thursday for a comment she made Wednesday about metro Detroit's Arab population.

At the end of a reporter's story about an alleged ISIS threat that included Michigan, Carmen Harlan, a longtime anchor with NBC affiliate WDIV-TV Local 4, said, “Given the fact that we have the largest Arab population outside of the Middle East, I guess this should not come as a real surprise."

"You’re exactly right," reporter Kimberly Gill replied."
