Picky eater = racist?

Really, I thought this was satire when I first read it. The UK is just getting weirder by the minute:

Toddlers who dislike spicy food 'racist'

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.

Can you even read that with a straight face? Imagine the minds that wrote it. But here's the best part:

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."

Thus insuring that many, many incidents will be reported.
