The food thing is silly. I am the world's pickiest eater and can't stand the smell of at least something from every culture. A three year old is just reacting on instinct and unfamiliar smells.
Now the "blackie" and "Paki" - well I have no problem with them wanting to stamp that out. |

While that particular suggestion does indeed sound pretty silly (though it'd be nice to see the relevant quote in context), so far as I can tell, this is just some random book published by some umbrella nonprofit's publishing wing, and not part of a government policy plan or anything like that.

i'm definitely goutraged. I never thought I'd say this but if the UK tories can hide their toxic elements as they seem to be trying to these days, they're a shoo-in next time. If David Cameron falls under a bus they can always call on that nice Mr Saxon.

I believe that Mr. Griffin has already taken those votes away. If mainstream political parties ignore negative consequences of social policy racists and extremists will pick up the slack.

This is so ridiculous. Don't they realize taste buds change over time?

Also I was reading a book that talked about child development and most kids don't like spicy foods because they have more taste buds than adults do. As they age they lose some of them and adjust to spicy or sour or any other strong flavour.

The alert about spicy food is part of a 366 page report, they obviously were trying to be comprehensive. The title is misleading, the report appears to be saying a dislike of spicy food can demonstrate the start of potentially racist attitudes, not that the kids *are* racist. Of course, I think it's dumb to be analyzing kids to that extent at all.

How possibly could a kid understand race at that age. I remember when i was at that age, i would say anything without knowing the true meaning of the pharse or word i was saying. Children can be very impressionable.

As for saying "racist things" without knowing the true meaning or import of what they're saying, there are adults who have that problem. And anyway even if a kid is throwing around racist slurs without knowing what they mean it's our responsiblity to teach them what these words mean and make it clear that they're inappropriate rather than smile and say "Aw isn't that cute. After all he doesn't know what he's saying!" You don't need to browbeat the kid but you do need to educate him. I have a feeling that this was probably the actual point of this 366 page document--not to encourage the "policing of thought." |
