Worse Than Riordan?

Worse than Riordan's telling a little girl at a Santa Barbara library reading program last week that her name, Isis, "means stupid, dirty girl" is the following:

The NAACP and other civil rights groups had planned to attend a Capitol news conference Thursday called by Assemblyman Mervyn Dymally, D-Compton, who was demanding that Riordan step down. Dymally's office abruptly canceled the event, however, after learning that the girl is white.

Dymally, who is African American, was quoted in Thursday's San Jose Mercury News stating that the girl was African American and asking whether Riordan "would ... have done that to a white girl?"

So, it's okay to call little, white girls dirty, but it's horribly offensive to call little, black girls dirty?

What an ass! With any luck Dymally will lose his seat in the next election.
