Toddlers Who Don't Like Spicy Food Labeled Racist 12
The National Children's Bureau, a government sponsored agency in the UK, has issued guidelines to people who work with young children advising them to be alert for racist incidents among kids in their care. This includes youngsters who say, 'yuck' when fed an unfamiliar foreign food. Not even babies are exempt from scrutiny according to the 366-page guide as they can 'recognize different people in their lives.' I wonder if they think it's good or bad to like Aunt Jemima pancakes?

How about this one: My 3-year old nephew told my sister a couple weeks ago he wanted to go down and see the "penguins." It turns out he was pointing at a bunch of black guys wearing white tshirts.

I doubt any of those kids would enjoy a red beet egg, and that's CLEARLY racist against my pennsylvania dutch heritage.
I for one eagerly look forward to these kids being forced to eat surstromming. If you don't eat it, you're racist!
