The Washington Post apologized on Wednesday for an “offensive” subhead published in print and online on Tuesday in an article about HUD Secretary Julian Castro that read “We’ll need more fajitas.”
“Imagine our dismay Tuesday morning when we opened the paper to read a most offensive subhead atop a Loop item about Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro and his staff,” wrote Al Kamen, a columnist and co-author of the article, on Wednesday. “The copy editor who wrote it — a brilliant and supremely reliable colleague who had a bad day — was attempting to evoke the Texas origins of the secretary and his aides. He has apologized.”
The article, which was published Tuesday in a political blog In The Loop, described how the former San Antonio mayor has quickly become “a man about town” in D.C., including a dinner with former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, but did not mention any types of food, including fajitas.
