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.

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."

It advises nursery teachers to be on the alert for childish abuse such as: "blackie", "Pakis", "those people" or "they smell".

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

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."

Warning that failing to pick children up on their racist attitudes could instil prejudice, the NCB adds that if children "reveal negative attitudes, the lack of censure may indicate to the child that there is nothing unacceptable about such attitudes".

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."

It came from the Telegraph so there is no way this is true.  We can all ignore it.  The UK is not a Nanny State.  Move along, nothing to see here.

Could someone with more information verify this. It sounds rather shocking.

Here's the charity's website: http://www.ncb.org.uk/Page.asp Not sure whether it'll have anything about this on there, but it might.

This, if you're interested, is the newswire report that most coverage of this has been based on:

Clearly living in Britain has made your perception of Indian food drastically different from reality. My uncle is the proprietor of an eatery in Kensington. What I ate there is drastically different from what I ate at their home.

I've eaten pretty damn good home-cooked Indian food...

I had always been adverse to Indian food, as I had the common complaint of "I don't like curry."

Of course, once I sat down at an authentic Indian eatery and tried Chicken Korma with Naan and some Basmati Rice, I've been hooked.  It is absolutely amazing what they can do with those Tandoori ovens.  Melt-in-your-mouth incredible.

I now make Indian food at home regularly.

Really dawg? I think you need to hit up some good south indian joints. Uthapam and Dosa are so bomb. That being said I cannot live without some good chicken tandoori... living in Delhi spoiled me.

I am guessing they do not make Bengali food? Probably just vats and vats of chicken tikka masala, the national food of Britain.

A friend of mine who has been everywhere in the world, informs me that if God has a cook, he is beyond per adventure a Tamil.

I haven't really found a decent Indian restaurant in Orange County, much less a Tamil one.

[Sam Spade]

I like spicy food (Mexican, Cajun, Thai, Szechuan Chinese, etc.), but I've never like Indian food very much, especially curry.  It and I don't get along very well.

Yeah they are mostly crap when they do exist. Southern California in general seems to have a dearth of good Indian food. Artesia is also not as good as its made out to be. BTW if you are looking for some good Tamil food in CA, no place is better than Saravana Bhavan in San Jose.

It certainly is!

But they make standard British fare, which is a corruption of Bengali food.

Curry is excellent.

Indian food is the best. You guys are nuts.
