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".

Nurseries are encouraged to report as many incidents as possible to their local council.

Little Johnny's gaze stayed on little Abdul for 1.35 seconds compared to Joseph at 1.30 seconds. That 50 milliseconds of hypervigilance is a clear sign of him and his family's racism. Ship them to Room 101 of the Ministry of Love.

“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”

I’m the same with coriander in any amount over a micro pinch. I do like cilantro in certain things though.

If you’re lactose intolerant, and since milk originates from the female of the species, does that make you sexist?

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

If there was it’s certainly been banned.

I know plenty of people who won’t touch fish. And not for any health concerns. They just don’t like it. Baked, broiled, fried, or raw, they don’t like it. Tuna, swordfish, tilapia, catfish, cod, salmon...

Now shouldn’t those moving into England at least TRY to enjoy a helping of fish and chips?

I think some British Conservatives post regularly on FR. There are others in Japan and elsewhere. It’s nice actually be able to get some local perspective on issues.

The cilantro isn’t quite as “violent” for me. I even had cilantro soup once and it was fine. I think it being cooked helped. But the coriander.......boy, that’s an automatic hurl.......no stopping it.

The plug has been pulled on the UK and I am now watching it slowly but inexorably spin down towards the drain.

Now, there you go... Trying to be logical in the application of illogical rules... Sheesh!

Rule #1: Allah and the gubmint forbid disparaging anything mooslime, on pain of death in a most horrible and uncivilized manner.

Political correctness in the UK has gone off the deep end. I'm not even feeling a twinge of regret at not wanting to visit the place again.

I've given up being surprised by any of this nonsense. This was inevitable once the British elite (not the British people) decided that their nation would become multi-racial and multi-cultural. Now, I'm sure there will be people who say it didn't have to be that way, because the immigrants could have been forced to assimilate. But some people simply cannot assimilate, at least not in large numbers.

That's what we're learning here as well. “Compassionate” conservatives will scream all day that the problem isn't Third World immigrants, it's the fact that we don't make them assimilate. But that's nonsense because once there are enough of them to form a voting block they will demand the right not to assimilate. And since whites both here and in England have been told they cannot have any representation or make any legitimate demands, the type of nonsense mentioned in the UK newspaper article is inevitable.

And, no, Muslims will not be expected to “tolerate” pork, as some in this thread have mentioned. Conservatives will say, “But that's a double standard!” Yes, to us it's a double standard but to the leftist elites it isn't. Their goal is to destroy Britain as a historical entity and as part of Western Civilization, just as our elites want to destroy America. If that is one's goal, then there is no double standard in demanding that white Britons learn to love Muslim food, while exempting Muslims from having to appreciate British food.
