Toddlers who dislike spicy food 'racist'
Telegraph UK ^ | 7/7/2008 | Rosa Prince

Posted on 07/07/2008 8:11:43 AM PDT by Uncledave

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".

Will we similarly chastise Muslims who don’t like bacon cheeseburgers? Hindu’s who won’t eat a great Texan porterhouse? Vegans who won’t eat meat traditional American fare ... hot dogs, burgers, etc.?

George Herbert Walker Bush was broccoli-phobic. He could have been impeached for that.

He should have been impeached for having the likes of Dick Darman in his administration. But I digress.

Do English conservatives (there are some) have a web forum similar to our F.R.?

Great question. There of course is Free Dominion in Canada but I'm sure not aware of any others.

You shouldn’t have to be able to ‘tell’ if something has curry in it. It’s not a single ingredient and it is always liquid. You should be able to ‘see’ curry.

British Hooligans better put a stop to this islamic indoctrination before its too late!

I'd never thought I'd live to see the day where yobs, chavs and hooligans are the only hope left for Britain. Unbelievable.

Tell me that “playgroup leader” is NOT a job title.

If such foods turn your stomach and send you running to the toilet, is that also “intolerance”?

Now this is the kind of thing where you grab your guns and a noose and find these bozos.

The line between reality and satire has been erased. What a bizarre world we live in.

I’m shocked at the depths to which the once venerable British have fallen. Surely, someone somewhere in the UK has the cajones to finally stand up and shout “NO!” to this PC stupidity. The LibTards have held sway over the Brits for plenty long enough, IMO.
Sadly, though, the US appears to be headed down the same PC, multi-culti path, at this point.

Truly pathetic.

Oh, I can see it. And actually I do like the taste. But there's one ingredient that disagrees with me. I think it's coriander, because I can't eat cilantro either, and that's the leaf of the coriander.

“What’s next in Great Britian, you gonna take the kids puppies away from them?”

After reading this I won’t be surprised if there’s not a law passed there to ban kids from playing with toys in public.

Some kids have nicer toys than others and that’s not fair.
