Amusing news article for the day
http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/....ap/index.html
Quote:
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- State Education Secretary Richard Riordan jokingly told a child her name, Isis, meant "stupid dirty girl," prompting the head of the California NAACP on Thursday to call for his resignation.
The conversation, videotaped by KEYT-TV, took place July 1. The girl, 6-year-old Isis D'Luciano, asked Riordan if he knew her name meant "Egyptian goddess."
Riordan replied, "It means stupid dirty girl"
...
Democratic state Assemblyman Mervyn Dymally, who had scheduled a protest by civil rights organizations, canceled the demonstration after an apparent mix-up over the girl's racial background.
Dymally was quoted in the San Jose Mercury News Thursday saying the child was "a little African-American girl. Would he (Riordan) have done that to a white girl?"
The girl is white, with blonde hair.
Dymally did not return telephone calls

Re: Amusing news article for the day
I'd be more outraged at the Mervyn 'Mr Rentaquote' Dymally fellow. Talk about cheap opportunism.

out-and-out racism is not a problem here ergo it is not a problem anywhere.
i think Riordan should get more of the scorn here as nobody so monumentally representative of the struggle of the dodo should be anywhere near higher-level government

I was directing that at the article and the media in general, not you.
Although the Riordan fellow is an eminently insensitive turd, though.

Re: Amusing news article for the day
That's classic.
Although is everyone in the world completley devoid of a sense of humour or something?

'Isis' doesn't mean Egyptian goddess though.
