Claim: Kids who say 'yuck' may be racist
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.
Again!!! Be ever vigilent for the racist babies! They could be coming to a play pen near you!

This market will settle for yes if it is reported in a major mainstream news source that a parent or legal guardian in either the United States or the UK of a baby age two or less will have been reprimanded or fined, or charged in any way with a hate crime due to their baby commenting on a flavorful foreign food with any of the (apparent) racist comments of:
Yuck, Yucky, Ooo, Icky, Blech or Phooey

Maybe we make babies racist before they can see straight...
Only somewhere in the bureaucratic UK would something like this occur...
