Isn't it racist to assume that Muslim = not white? Or that the staff proposing the change to no pork are white?
This is a really astonishing response. First, even though Muslims can be of any race, including white, it is progressives who have won the cultural war on calling anti-Islam sentiment "racist", no matter what is under discussion.
You've won that war. It's a widely accepted nonsense. Anti-Islam sentiment is racist because Muslims are black and brown. Do you now oppose progressive thinking in this area?
But secondly, the details of the story were that the centre directors were white Germans from a background of cultural Christianity. The centre directors were definitely not Muslim: that would have been a pertinent fact to mention.
For most of their childhoods, my kids were raised vegetarian. For the rest of their childhoods, they were raised with meals that sometimes contained meat and fish but with no pork. Ever.
That's a great story you should tell it at parties. I've snipped the rest of it.
No one. Absolutely not one single person is being harmed by not being offered pork at school. Nor was my child who had a serious sweet tooth harmed by not being offered cookies or ice cream every day, no matter how much they insisted that they neeeeeeeeeeded it.
Non. Pork is a central part of traditional German cuisine, and the children who like pork and are missing out on it are paying the price. You can insist, incoherently, that removing an entire ingredient cannot reduce somebody's enjoyment, and you'd be wrong.
Although you've now said children don't need cookies "every day", as if pork were merely being reduced rather than taken off the menu.
If you are going to be fine with someone else paying the price so that Muslims are catered to, at least admit they are paying a price. But don't piss on someone's boots and tell 'em it's raining.
