UPDATE: 10:15 a.m. Mayor Kuhn has offered an apology for his act and the name he used at the CASA pageant Sunday. He met with NAACP officials in Wichita Wednesday.
"It has been brought to my attention how offensive this was and I absolutely agree that it was shortsighted of me not to see that in the first place. I am sincerely sorry and I sincerely apologize for the offensive nature of my actions. This was not CASA, this was of my own volition, and I take full responsibility for my actions. The buck absolutely stops here." – Mayor Mel Kuhn
