DescriptionThe Republican National Committee corrected an embarrassing mistake on Thursday after the children in a picture used on its RNC Latinos website turned out to not actually be Latino.

A blog post on U.S. News & World Report quickly spread after the reporter found the stock photo used in the site's header had been tagged with "asia," "asian," "japanese" and "thailand" -- but nothing to indicate that the children were Latino.

"An outside vendor developed the site and it is being corrected immediately," RNC Spokesperson Alexandra Franceschi told HuffPost in an email.

As of 4:30 p.m. EST, the photo had been taken off the page.
