Toddlers who dislike spicy food 'racist'

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".

The guide goes on to warn that children might also "react negatively
to a culinary tradition other than their own by saying 'yuk'".

Staff are told: "No racist incident should be ignored. When there is
a clear racist incident, it is necessary to be specific in condemning
the action."

Warning that failing to pick children up on their racist attitudes could
instil prejudice, the NCB adds that if children "reveal negative attitudes,
the lack of censure may indicate to the child that there is nothing
unacceptable about such attitudes".

Nurseries are encouraged to report as many incidents as possible to
their local council. The guide added: "Some people think that if a large
number of racist incidents are reported, this will reflect badly on the
institution. In fact, the opposite is the case."

This is certainly a concern for me. It hurts my feelings when I have a
traditional Estonian cold meal of boiled potatos, head cheese, and marinated
sprats (the tinned kind where you have to de-tail, behead, eviscerate, and
de-spine them), perhaps with sour cream and a side of raw garlic, and Anglo
friends go "Ewwwww".

You should not have published this story. The lunatic left will become
unglued. Liberals love to have a nanny state just like Cuba.
