I assumed, as I read the first post, that Isis was a black girl, and I was horrified by the guy's comment. Turns out she's white. Now I just think he's an ass who made a bad joke.
I wasn't the only one to make the assumption. If you read the linked article, the NAACP called for this guy's resignation, and a Democratic state Assemblyman said the girl was black and questioned whether such a comment would ever be made to a white child.
Now that they realize she is white, they are easing off a little bit. They are still criticising the guy, but the racial aspect of it has vanished.
It's amazing how race issues cause people to freak out.
