Studying journalism a Cal State LA and Columbia, he participated in what was then-known as the The Times’ Minority Editorial Training Program and is now called The Times’ Fellowshop. Fuhrman was subsequently hired as a LA Times calendar section copy editor in 1991, the first of many roles at the paper.A board member of the Asian American Journalists Association, Furhmann long challenged the way people of nonwhite heritage were described, in particular arguing against using hyphens in terms like Asian American or African American.
As he wrote in a 2019 essay, hyphens in this context “serve to divide even as they are meant to connect. Their use in racial and ethnic identifiers can connote an otherness, a sense that people of color are somehow not full citizens or fully American.”His efforts convinced the Associated Press Stylebook to stop using hyphens shortly after that essay was published.
According to the LA Times, Furhmann also led efforts to convince news outlets to use the term transgender, instead of the previously used term transvestite. His colleagues also noted that Furhmann fought to use the term “incarceration” to describe what happened to Japanese Americans during World War II, instead of the more euphemistic word “internment.” He explained why in a 2020 Twitter thread, saying in part, “that legal term refers to the imprisonment of foreign nationals.

David Benedict Jonathan Spector’s 2018 comedy “Eureka Day” first attracted attention in productions in Berkeley and Brooklyn. But in its sharp U.K. premiere starring Helen Hunt, this often very funny satire about parental attitudes to an outbreak of mumps has suddenly leapt into focus — since it’s really about fiercely personal, highly politicized responses to enforced vaccination. This depiction of over-articulate parents fighting it out in initially polite then savage dialogue (now playing at the Old Vic in London) owes a huge debt to Yasmina Reza’s more caustic “The God of Carnage,” but anyone searching for proof that timing is everything need look no further. “You can always spot a Eureka Day kid because at soccer games they’re the ones who cheer when the other team scores.” So says Carina (ideally poised Susan Kelechi Watson), the parent new to the private California school which gives the play its otherwise obscure title.
