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".

Was he Italian, my brotha!?
They make all sorts of vegetarian and vegan options for hot dogs, burgers, chicken nuggets, ribs, ect. In fact, I had some vegan bratwursts yesterday. They tasted just like the real things, only it was much more tender. Here's a site dedicated to all sorts of mock meats. Vegans and vegetarians no longer have to eat beans, rice and tofu anymore to have some enjoyment out of their food.
In the south they are called butter beans and bacon is added for flavoring. My cardiologist may not appreciate it but I can eat them almost a pint at a time . . . delicious ! ! !
LOL!
What about adults that don’t like baby food? Do they hate babies?
Thanks for the ping!
This is racist? No, this is Orwellian. Toddlers can't even distinquish whether food comes from another culture.
This reminds me of Obama and his complaint about his grandmother. Even if his grandmother was afraid of blacks, it doesn't make her a racist since crime is disproportionally committed by blacks. Back then, there was also a lot more racial tension.
And what about individual preference and individual freedom? Cultural insensitivity is not the same as racism.
If the babies are eating spicy foods, and grown adults hate baby foods, then yes. On the other hand if the babies aren't eating spicy foods, and grown adults hate baby foods, then yes.
In this case, an old-new sign will appear around London produced by the government: Distrust everyone over age 30.
And yes, I admit, my mum was quite prone to overcook everything. But I learned, through time, that was just her style of cooking, and not at all an example of high British Cuisine!
Why did she overcook everything? She was of the generation that was concerned with "germs"; and so a great deal of one's diet was cooked to death so that nary a germ could survive the cooking.
I don’t like falafel or baba ghanouj. I’m racist against my own people.
A thing I do know about the Englanders, they are quite resourceful. Another thing I do know about many of those who have immigrated (legal/illegal) to England? Are most upfront in their verbosity and racism. Their particular brand of religion boons self-arrogance.
What I'm saying is this: It is quite possible this new "pc ism" could boomarang quite interestingly.
And what has been the response of the English people to this INSANE news? England has gone off the deep end. Between this absurd PC thought and their fanatical stand on Global Warming I see no use for them any more. They are basically a Mooselem country anyway .
no it is all that uncontrolled immigration from the third world terrorities they used to have.
we would be wise to stop importing these people as well.

Not really interested in “mock meats”. I’ll stick to the real thing, thanks anyway. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it — why eat fake ribs when I can have REAL ribs?
I do find it curious that vegans say humans are not naturally carnivorous, and then go out of their way to replicate the flavor and texture of meat.

Sorry 'bout that. I think this one works (or not).
That quote really made me laugh. Thanks for posting it!
Yep, that one worked. Thanks.
