47. No one mentioned her race.

You interpreted that based on the use of "sister". As a "sister" myself, I don't see anything wrong if they did mention her race or the usage of "sister." There are not many Black newscasters on MSNBC. Tamron is one of three---I'm counting the girl that rarely fills in for Rachel's show. I remember when Mika wrote her book; she never mentioned Tamron as someone she even interviewed as part of the struggle of being a female newscaster. It's doubly worse when it's one of color. They rarely get real popularity. I'm glad she's getting some love now.
