Idiots all around

CNN.com - California education chief calls preschooler 'stupid dirty girl' - Jul 9, 2004

First, you have Richard Riordan, who told a 6-year-old her name Isis meant "stupid dirty girl". What kind of person says that? That's so mindblowingly dense that I have to assume that there's no malicious intent. He's not intentionally being an asshole, it's just his way.

Second, you have to give a hand to the state assemblyman who decided that anyone named "Isis" had to be black, and so scheduled a demonstration. When told that the girl was in fact white -- even blond -- he cancelled it. Now he's saying that because Riordan apologized it's time to move on. Because insulting little white girls is okay.
