You're right. I never read the follow up coverage, only the initial report

But the organizer, state Assemblyman Mervyn Dymally, D-Los Angeles, abruptly canceled it 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 blond hair.

It's not the coverage that made it out to be a racial issue. The coverage is of some asshole who tried to make it a racial issue, as slave and Ty noted earlier. Do you regularly attribute words quoted in a newspaper to the newspaper itself? Congrats on graduating from the Ann Coulter school of citation.
