Babies who dislike spicy food may be designated as racists!

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.

I'm really hoping this is a joke. I know it's in the U.K., but how long until this special kind of stupidity hits the U.S.?

Well there is far too much accommodation for "foreigners" here in the U.S.

Do we really need multi-lingual signage in government buildings?

That's something that also buggs me, I took the freaking chore of learning Spanish, French and some German and Italian to understand other people in the world when I visit... they should also learn don't you think? Especially if they're in the U.S.A.

I hate having to 'press 1 for English'

Which is why shirts like this:



Should be handed out to anyone who wants one at government expense.

Ridiculous! Political Correctness gone haywire. Here is another interesting tid bit from the article:

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

Compared to:

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."

Totally stupid. They say 'clear racist incident' but imply not liking a certain type of foreign as being a 'clear racist incident' in the next paragraph.



Besides, spicy food is too rough on the tummies of infants and toddlers. Are the digestive systems of children now racist because they have a hard time processing spicy foods? You threw up that jalepeno- you racist child!

Edit to add: Those with acid reflux who have to refrain from spicy foods are hereby dubbed insensitive racist schmucks as well. Let's not unfairly target infants and give those with acid reflux a free pass. It wouldn't be P.C.

The point is that this is no point of focus

instead of feeling bad for their countries being bombed by your country while you sit at home watching reality tv, you or at least a large minority of people will end up hating them because of 'accomodating news' like this.

That is why 'accomodating news' like this is propoganda.

I was reading an ATS mailer today in my inbox, one article was about obama wanting to install sharia law if elected and then he goes on to say that see how muslims want to take over the world, all while america has bases in what....96% of countries around the world.

Please focus on the real issues, don't allow yourselves to be sidetracked.
