It does not sound like he called her, personally, stupid, dirty girl, he was talking about what her name meant in Egyptian

Rhino or not, this is not reported properly.

Ahh, but it does not matter what he said or didn't say. It's what he was THINKING! Read between the lines, THAT is why we must punish him.

Let's make that leap together, shall we?

The girl's name was "Isis", probably something like "Isis Jackson". Therefore she was most likely of African American descent which makes the "stupid, dirty" part of Riordan's quip all that more critical. You see, deep in the recesses of Riordan's mind, as like most old white men, he is a racist. You can paint all the pretty pictures you want with colorful words, but you will never be able to suppress a rascist's intent. It shines through loud and clear, if the girl was white, he wouldn't have used the words "stupid" or "dirty". If the girl were white, he would have used the words, "silly" and "little". As in, "You silly, little girl, you. Run along now!"

You see? It's easy once you get the hang of it!

Wow, do you expect a 6-year-old to understand that distinction?
