Toddlers who turn their noses up at spicy food from overseas could be branded racists by a Government-sponsored agency.
The National Children's Bureau, which receives £12 million a year, mainly from Government funded organisations, has issued guidance to play leaders and nursery teachers advising them to be alert for racist incidents among youngsters in their care.
This could include a child of as young as three who says "yuk" in response to being served unfamiliar foreign food.
The guidance by the NCB is designed to draw attention to potentially-racist attitudes in youngsters from a young age.
It alerts playgroup leaders that even babies can not be ignored in the drive to root out prejudice as they can "recognise different people in their lives".
The 366-page guide for staff in charge of pre-school children, called Young Children and Racial Justice, warns: "Racist incidents among children in early years settings tend to be around name-calling, casual thoughtless comments and peer group relationships."
It advises nursery teachers to be on the alert for childish abuse such as: "blackie", "Pakis", "those people" or "they smell".

Screw it if the Wogs can’t take a joke!.....
I remember this one janitor we had (to be P.C., I will not mention race) but he would clean the cubicles in our office at night....You could smell him before you saw him because of all the garlic he ate....
The next King of England.
Mrs. 'Bucket' is disappointed with todaty's UK. LOL
I don’t think the Brits are voting them in. I think these are appointed bureaucrats - and once they’re in, you have to wait for ‘em to retire before your rid of them.
And meanwhile they’ve hired a bunch of paid staff who think just like they do...
It is just like that here.
“Now shouldnt those moving into England at least TRY to enjoy a helping of fish and chips?”
Don’t forget the warm beer.
ROFLMAO!!
Poor Hyacinth!
Why is it that any time I hear of some new left wing initiative or law in merry olde England, I’m forced to think it could be the basis of a Monty Python skit?
Those people are all insane, completely and totally insane.
A baby is racist should it not eat anything shoved into it’s mouth? I hated cheese, brussel sprouts and fish as a child, does that mean I hate the Swiss, Belgians and Japanese?
Insane!
This IS the last straw!!!
I have a framed print of that hanging on the wall in my family room. A gift from my SIL.
Britons need to proclaim their rights as indigenous peoples.
Ya know if they had those virtual reality booths where they put people down I imagine a lot of Brits would sign up. Even if they didn’t like the crackers.
I guess Sheridan is happy at the way the UK is going??
Oh, fine. I'll play.
ANYONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE BLAND FOOD HATES OLD PEOPLE!
There.
An “I give up” Ping to the Nanny State list.
Insanity...............or a hoax?
I believe that there is or was a restaurant in Florida that shared that motto. Can't think of the name of it, but I do remember it from several years ago.
My granddaughter, in early toddlerhood, loved salsa. My son-in-law was feeding her bits of salsa. She loved it. I recommended that he stop the practice.
He asked me "why".
I said, just give me twenty-four hours to provide you with the answer.
He said: "ok".
In less than twenty-four hours, my granddaughter had the worst case of the trots and burnies. Her cries made my son-in-law's life very unhappy too!
I recommended a good soak for her bum; some A&D, her to be on the BRAT diet for a couple of days, and for daddy to remember that spicy foods are to be administered incrementally for young ones, no matter how happy he is to make his child happy and to share happy times.
If I lived in England, I would do everything I could, sell everything I owned, to leave there, especially if I had children.
“blackie”, “Pakis”, “those people” or “they smell”.
Toddlers can be brutally honest. Once we were in a crowded store when a smelly taxi driver came near us, and my kid started yelling “sobaco! sobaco!” (armpit). The spanish speaking customers started snickering.
