Sure, but I can say with all confidence that most black people have never heard of a white girl called Isis.

But I agree that it makes no sense for the NAACP to expend its resources defending a white person (child or grownup). That implies, in theory at least, that at least one black person who needed representation wouldn't get it - a much bigger screw up, imho.
