Wow. Does this mean that the next time a Muslim child says "yuck" to ham (or, say, to shrimp and shellfish) that he'll be condemned as "racist"?

If indeed this is true, surely the NCB would be complicit in child cruelty/assault ? Kids of 3 yrs don't have refined tastebuds and most would react to strange tasting food initially with a Yuk ! And certain is the case that some children and adults reject certain foods on the basis of being allergic to them.

I'm torn. One on hand, this seems like an absolutely stupid thing to do, especially when concerning small children who probably can't grasp the concept of race, let alone racism.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I really dislike small children. I'm finding this tricky to balance!
I'm allergic to chocolate, does that make me anti-Swiss? Not that it would matter to the Swiss of course.
ReplyDeleteMy ex-wife bought me a chocolate birthday cake the last year we were together, I think there was some anti-me sentiment going on there, so maybe there's something to this.
At some point they will have to target infants in high chairs and whether they spit out the stewed prunes, but I'm not sure what race that would be against. Perhaps against anal-idiotic legislators?
