Toddlers who dislike spicy food racist, say report – Telegraph — This stuff just writes itself.
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.

Toddlers should be taught about racism and singled out for criticism if they have racist attitudes, a Government-funded advisory group said yesterday.
It told nursery teachers, playgroup leaders and childminders to record and report every racist incident involving children as young as three.
Even babies should not be ignored in the hunt for racism because they can ‘recognise different people in their lives’, a new guide for nurseries and child care centres said.

So if my kid refuses to eat hot peppers does that mean he hates Mexicans? Actually he also hates curry, must hate Hindus, I guess!
Does refusal to eat pork also make you a racist?
What if you get offended by a photograph of a dog? Then you are obviously a racist.

Ha, ha…Then I must really really be racist, I eat cows, more specifically big juicy bbq steaks and bbq spareribs. I’m sure I must be offending some Hindus and Jews there! Send in your pics folks!.
This can’t be good. Have we lost our race when such power is in the hands of only 2.2 percent of the population to tell us what is racist. What is permitted or not. We don’t have to wait 300 years for Miscegenation to eradicate us, all will be lost much sooner than that.
And I thought USA was bad…
I loathe curry and parsnips, and for the record I don’t think I could ever even force myself to try Haggis.
Aren’t we all considered infidels here in the good ol’ US of A? Makes you wonder who the real racists really are when some Muslims label a whole country like that!
Haggis is excellent! Get over it, racist!

My dog hides under the bed when I try to serve it to him. I guess he’s racist.
I do not like a lot of foods and it has to do with taste and texture not what “race” normally eats it. I am Greek and I am not fond of karpoozi (watermelon) or peponi (honeydew) which are popular in the Greek diet. Who would Britain’s NCB say I was racist against?
I like this part…
The guidance said that anyone who disagrees is racist themselves.
How long before racism is linked to terrorism? Then anyone arrested of anything remotely having to do with racism will not only be branded a hater, (committing a hate crime) but a terrorist as well?
What? Did you just say YUK about the curry? You terrorist! Someone call the police.
I get to be the first person to comment who sees a great deal of sense in this.
Children form their social skills early in life and discouraging them from ridiculing what another child eats is politeness.
Political correctness, although at times has been taken to absurdity, has made much progress in fostering tolerance and acceptance among racial and cultural divides.
A simple solution: Every proponent of this asshat regulation should be forced to eat balut for every single meal until they recant this idiocy.
If you don’t know what balut is, Google cautiously.
And remember, citizen: If you say “Yuk,” you will be labelled a racist.
#13: Children form their social skills early in life and discouraging them from ridiculing what another child eats is politeness.
True, but the point here is not that the kids are ridiculing others but that they don’t happen to like some types of food – perhaps something they have never tasted before – and are therefore being labeled as racists.
Political correctness, although at times has been taken to absurdity, has made much progress in fostering tolerance and acceptance among racial and cultural divides.
Also true, but this is a prime example of its being taken to absurdity, nay, far beyond absurdity.
Kids (and many adults) are fussy eaters. They tend to like what’s familiar and often dislike the unfamiliar. Perhaps the lunatics who thought up this scheme never had kids…
I’m vegan, I must seriously be the most racist bastard on the planet.
The U.K. government actually gives people money for this. What’s next? Kids with allergies hate the environment and are prone to be wasteful and liter.
#17: What’s next?
Actually I was kind of hoping for a post about how kids turn into mad serial killer zombie freaks when fed a diet of Cocoa Puffs every morning.

So does that mean that I ought to be looking for Logan-6 now?
When will kids be able to be kids and learn through expiramentation (no, not drug expirementation)? It’s absurd to expect any kid to like all foreign foods right off the bat. I hated curry myself until I was 18 (and now it’s one of my favorites, especially Thai curry… mmm..)
Oh boy – does this mean we get to shoot Vegans?
Time to invade Britain and liberate the people from their government — whether they want liberating or not.
On the other hand, the US could have a similar initiative to eliminate criticism of food additives, like BHA, various colorings, and etc. Freedom of speech? Not when a corporation’s bottom line is concerned, nosiree!
So now personal taste and preference is potentially racist?
The U.S has plenty of problems, but this sort of craziness makes me glade I don’t live in Britain.
Britiain is turning into an extreme example of a police state.
Everybody is under observation all the time and nobody is safe any of the time. You aren’t even free to say what you like and don’t like to eat.
So… no one in Britain has read Fahrenheit 451?
Or they have, and they’re making use of it.
and if they don’t like bland food they are english-racist!
Time to take your kid OUT OF THE PUBLIC schools and buy more GUNS
