Outside of this board, none of the coverage of this incident that I've seen has had anything to do with race. (What's a RINO?) The consensus is that Riordan is a moron for insulting a little girl. Unfogged is the only place I've seen anyone suggest a credible explanation for what he thought he was doing, and it sounds right to me.
