Claim: Kids who say 'yuck' may be racist
Jul 7 12:42 PM US/Eastern
LONDON, July 7 (UPI) -- Toddlers who say "yuck" when given flavorful
foreign food may be exhibiting racist behavior, a British
government-sponsored organization says.
The London-based National Children's Bureau released a 366-page guide
counseling adults on recognizing racist behavior in young children, The
Telegraph reported Monday.
The guide, titled Young Children and Racial Justice, warns adults that
babies must also be included in the effort to eliminate racism because
they have the ability to "recognize different people in their lives."
The bureau says to be aware of children who "react negatively to a
culinary tradition other than their own by saying 'yuck'."
"Racist incidents among children in early years settings tend to be
around name-calling, casual thoughtless comments and peer group
relationships," the guide says.
Staff members are advised not to ignore racist actions and to condemn
them when they occur.

Can't you just see those toddlers listening intently to "staff members"
lecturing them about racism? ;-)

I was not a Nazi, I am not a Nazi, I was only following orders.
