Toddlers who dislike spicy food 'racist'

[Ikutiera]

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."

I generally like spicy food, so I am anti-racist by definition then?

How ridiculious.
This is almost against going common human instinct that sometimes is hard for us to experience new things.

Let's laugh out anti-racism; just laugh anyone in the face, who says that this or that appropriate behaviour, custom or order is racist.

I must be exceptionally racist by their standards.

Whenever I buy a Kebab on a night out I always tell the Turkish proprietors that they should really think about going home someday soon.

Suffice to say, I always ask them to prepare my food where I can see it.
