A school food vendor apologizes for its Black History Month menu after students and parents pointed out the racial stereotypes the menu reinforces.
Link copiedA vendor that provides food service to schools apologized for the"unintentional insensitivity" of its Black History Month menu, echoing similar apologies it has made for more than a decade amid backlash over racially insensitive menus.
Aramark said in a statement to NBC News on Sunday that the situation"never should have happened" and apologized for what it called an"inexcusable mistake." David Johnson, principal of Nyack Middle School, did not immediately return a request for comment to NBC News on Sunday. He did state in a letter to parents that the school was unaware of the menu, WABC reported.
Aramark has been behind similar menus on past holidays commemorating Black people that sparked controversy at two universities going back more than a decade. In 2011, Aramark served chicken and waffles on Martin Luther King Day at the University of California, Irvine., that the company would conduct cultural sensitivity training for all managers and chefs.
