From a Telegraph article titled: Toddlers who dislike spicy food ‘racist’:

“Toddlers who turn their noses up at spicy food from overseas could be branded racists by a Government-sponsored agency.”

I honestly don’t think it’d be possible to make this stuff up.

    Better than the article? The comments! There is just something about the way British people talk that makes everything they’re writing so hilarious I can’t stop laughing.

    I seriously cannot stop laughing at these two comments about the article:

    “My dog doesn’t like spicy food either. I am glad he is neutered so the hate can stop with him.”

    “I don’t like mustard. Which government agency should this be reported to please? Or should I simply hand myself into the nearest Police Station straight away?”

    Ha ha!

  3. I like this comment:

    “what if the child likes spicy food but is a racist anyway?”

    Uh oh!

    I’m sure the people who made this report have good intentions about wanting to root out racism. Too bad they are so blinded by political correctness that they’ve lost all common sense. And is it even possible for a toddler to be racist? Perhaps he or she could repeat racist things they hear their parents say, but that does not make them racist. I don’t think they possess the ability to think in that way. Saying a two-year-old can be racist just makes a mockery of what racism really is. People in this country are obsessed with the word “racist” yet many of them don’t even know what it means.
