Coming soon to a liberal, bloated, mentally ill collection of multicultural bureaucrats near you (oh, sorta like what an Obama admin will look like). This one is courtesy of another politically correct liberal nutgroup in England. (HT Marlee).

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

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.”

The English have allowed liberals to drive them officially insane.

    I wonder if it goes both ways? If say, a Pakistani-born child says “yuk” to ham, would that child be cited as racist? I bet not. Bet the program only applies to white English children, considering how England is jumping all over itself accommodating the sensitivities of immigrant muslims to the detriment of its own cultural identity. Liberalism the world over has effectively beat down the West so thoroughly (just as chronic mental abuse can lower self esteem to the point of causing self destructive behavior or even suicide), that the West respects everyone else’s heritage but its own.

    “The English have allowed liberals to drive them officially insane.”
    Tammy the English (British actually) have been insane for some time now. They are fed a daily diet of anti Americanism, anti Semitism, self loathing, politically correct multicultural bovine excrement that Winston Churchill must be turning over in his grave. Oh for the days not too long away of Maggie Thatcher.

    Why should anyone be surprised by this turn of events? Recall the “macaca” incident from the 2006 elections where Democrats transformed an imaginary “racial smear” into control of the US Senate. The Messiah recently accused His opponents of being racists. Opponents of racial preferences in hiring and education are routinely demonized as bigots.

    I have come to the conclusion that many in the Western world (perhaps a majority) are diligently in search of a Robert Mugabe-type leader.

    If my understanding of child development is even close to accurate–won’t they be having to report EVERY child? Children don’t develop a taste for strong flavors or seasonings til they are much older than three. Small children do not like strange and different foods–how many of you out there are giving your toddler mac & cheese, hot dogs or pbj every meal because they won’t experiment like the grownups in the house? It’s bland and it’s familiar.

    A three year old doesn’t know diddly about race–I’m not even sure they have figured out the difference between boys and girls at that age. Children are WAY more PC and accepting of other races naturally, all on their own. They see everybody as a potential friend and playmate. They don’t care what color your skin is as long as you play nice. Adults should take a page from the toddler playbook and learn about how to play nice with people of other races.

    Spare me from clueless adults who know nothing about children and their development doing “what’s best for the child.”

    Oh, good gawd.

    Have any of these morons tried to get a two-year-old to eat anything?!? What goes in the mouth is the ONLY thing the little ones can control.

    My two-year-old must hate every ethnicity on Earth… Including her own.

  6. jdb says:

    This has very little to do with the children. This is about leverage and control of the parents. Of course all children will be reported and all parents will be supervised under a watchful eye. I suppose the added benefit will be the opportunity for the children’s re-education while the parents are on some type of probation. As Bob Dylan said “you know something is happening but you don’t know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones”

  7. Young American says:

    I wonder if they have been instructed to report it to the authorities when a child says ‘ mmmm ‘ when they smell bacon cooking . Or have they already banned pork in England ?

    Miss Kathy, this shouldn’t shock you as this is the country that brought the world Mad Cow disease by bureaucrats requiring cattle be fed cow’s brains as part of their diet as a cost savings measure. The British government has a long history of putting people in bureaucratic management positions who have no knowledge about the activity they are managing. Basically, they would put single men who dislike kids in charge of rearing children and accountants in charge of farming and liberal arts majors in charge of accounting then wonder why it’s all screwed up.

  9. Miss Kathy says:

    Meanwhile, the kids pay the price, not knowing what it was they did to get Mommy and Daddy into trouble.

    This is one of those things that is so blatently stupid (since Tammy has forbidden obscene words, I can’t use the word I usually use for things that are really really beyond stupid)that I can’t even make my brain form a coherent, reasonably adult comment to refute the absolute stupidity because it is so absolutely stupid only a mo-ron could see where it makes sense.

  10. mrfixit says:

    This is nothing more than another excuse by the socialists to allow them to invade your home and family.

    Obviously, if the child is a racist because he/she won’t gobble down a Habanero pepper with glee, the racism had to come from somewhere. That invites the PC police into the home to monitor the parents after their stint in rehab, or the re-education camp.

    What drivel.

  11. ladykrystyna says:

    Miss Kathy, your last paragraph is exactly what I’m thinking, in addition to the rational thought that toddlers and food are not always compatible. Sometimes they don’t even eat the same thing and will decide it’s “yucky” the next day. My older daughter does that and it’s like a noodle, chicken and mushroom concoction.

    And it creeps me out to think that the government is going to be monitoring the kids and hence the parents about “racism” in the family?

    Can anyone say “1984” and not realize that liberalism is nothing more than a form of fascism with a smiley face?

    I’m glad I don’t live in England! But if the Messiah wins in November, I’m going to have to wonder if I should stay here!

  12. BA in LA says:

    It seems so obvious to me but no one is saying it. In the U.K. or the U.S. no one should trust their children to public (government) schools or even pre-school. This is not the 1950’s. If money is a problem, sacrifices can be made to facilitate sane private education; a smaller house or apartment, public
    transportation instead of a new car, no delivered pizza dinners with a side of wings and “crazy bread”, no trips to the “mouse kingdom”. If it seems extreme, how extreme is the sacrifice of the soul of a child to liberal secularism.

  13. artgal says:

    After reading this and picking up my jaw which dropped, I honestly thought this story was a joke. It had to be, I thought. But then it dawned on me: this is where we are in the world (at least in Britain for now).

    We must be heading toward living out a Twilight Zone episode where the world becomes one big parody of itself. We are living out The Onion headlines, aren’t we?

  14. PeteRFNY says:

    Damn. If hating spicy food makes you a racist, that means I am the most progressive guy in the world. Who knew?

  15. Tirian says:

    Okay let me get this straight. If I say “yuk” to curry, I’m racist? It cannot be that my stomach just doesn’t handle it. If I even question an idea of gay marriage as a true marriage, I’m motivated by hate? It cannot possibly be anything like wanting to protect a tradition and the identity within and from that tradition. It can’t have anything to do with a faith that tells me what my Maker has said about marriage, while that same Maker still extravagantly loves every human, gay or straight, to the point of becoming human when we couldn’t get to Him on our own. Yeah, that’s a message of hate. I better go pick up some fried scorpion now. But heaven forbid I be found eating Lattkes. I’m sure saying yuk to that kind of ethnic food is just fine with these . . . these . . . I say yuk to such an idealogy of . . . pansy-headedness. That’s where the hate is. Oh great, I just insulted gardeners everywhere.

  16. American_Crusader says:

    I am now going to encourage every young child I come into contact with to say “YUK!” whenever he is served any non-American food. Especially Middle Eastern cuisine. If I ever visit England with children, I’ll make sure they do so in public.
