LOL Toddlers who dislike spicy food 'racist'

By this standard most kids are prejudiced against their own parents.

I strongly believe that this is manipulative journalism at its best; here's my earlier comment from the other thread:

Am I the only one here who feels that Rosa Prince is a sensationalist cow? Perhaps someone should write “Yuk” on Prince’s forehead and tell her that she no longer works for a Tabloid. It is very obvious that she had decided that she’ll write rot about the NCB guidelines even before she read a word of it, gone on to read it looking for malleable phrases, found them, and convoluted them to suit her need: twisted sensationalism, The Daily Mirror style. The reality is that the NCB is trying, perhaps clumsily, to address a genuine and important issue in the British school system; the issue of bringing up young people in a multicultural society. Perhaps, some of you should speak to your second-generation “Paki” acquaintances and ask them how they feel about these measures; I bet they’d think differently based on their experiences growing up in Britain.

If it’s still not clear, here is my feeble, even farfetched, analogy in an attempt to clarify the NCB’s point:

Imagine that a six year old Indian boy called Peter Smith is the only White boy at the Ghorakpur Village Elementary School, somewhere in India. Now, picture him opening his lunch-box to reveal some Bangers and Mash laced with his mom’s love. As the smell of this British delicacy wafts through the class and sneaks into curry-munching Indian nostrils, the entire class stops what they are doing and gape into Peter’s lunch. After a moment’s silence a voice pipes out, “Yuk, he’s got Pig’s pe.nis and Poop for lunch again; no wonder he smells like a pig…” From then on, life is always going to be extremely tough for young Peter Pe.nis Eater. Perhaps, he might have a better chance at integration, if an adult intervened at the first “yuk” and guided everyone in a manner that promotes inclusion and coexistence. Of course, to do that Peter must be willing to learn to nod his head at the right places as he speaks, and the rest of his class should be adventurous enough to actually taste some of his traditional food with an open mind; it’s the NCB’s aim to equip teachers to promote this willingness and sense of adventure.

Rosa Prince’s bold, but flawed, interpretation that: “Toddlers who turn their noses up at spicy food from overseas could be branded racists by a Government-sponsored agency”, is a classic example of irresponsible and sensationalistic journalism. It is equally irresponsible of her readers to gobble up the drivel she serves without questioning its merit.

Let me see...

As Ben Franklin said:

OMG this is hilarious! So we're not allowed to dislike anything?? Do we have to love everything and everyone and puke rainbows and shet happy bunnies? lol. Then I guess I'm one hell of a racist cause I don't like sushi and think it's "yucky" :P
