Jesse Washington, who has been AP's entertainment editor, was one of 449 candidates for the race and ethnicity reporting job. An AP memo says Washington "has lived the subject of race and ethnicity every day of his 39 years. Son of an interracial marriage, Jesse is, as he puts it, 'a kid from the projects who went to Yale and married a doctor. I'm a person who fits in everywhere and nowhere.'" || Gawker.com: Washington once banned Paris Hilton news.
