[California] State Education Secretary Richard Riordan [the former mayor of LA] 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.'
After nervous laughter in the room, the girl again told Riordan the meaning of her name.
'Hey, that's nifty,' he said.
