In a slip up, what character was accidentally made African American by the color stylist in his or her first-ever appearance on the show, which was justified by calling it an "extreme tan"?

Revealed to be gay in a 2016 episode, Smithers was colorized in his first appearance as black with blue hair. The creator of the series, Matt Groening, once explained that this was a mistake, but because it was very early on, the producers didn't have the budget to correct the error.
