While I don't know what the implications are for the so-called "wisdom of repugnance," I thought this news item was worth a yuck:

LONDON, July 7 (UPI) -- Toddlers who say "yuck" when given flavorful foreign food may be exhibiting racist behavior, a British government-sponsored organization says.

This racially sensitive culinary advice is all in a 366 page guide I'd dearly love to read:

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.

The times they must be changing. At least in Britain.

Speaking of the racist wisdom of culinary repugnance, here's a video of a white man who has eliminated his, and made eating an unyucky experience.

OTOH, here's a clearly racist video, titled "yukky chinese food."

Skewered scorpions and insect pupae!

Perhaps children could have their yuck levels tested by being made to watch these and other videos. If they don't immediately say "Yummy!" it's time for sensitivity training.

Better start early, before they turn into gastrophobic bigots!

(But if they say "yuck," that's another matter.)
