But the fact that somalians eat hummus tacos (or whatever they eat) and not PB sandwiches is because of culture, and has nothing to do with race. So saying PB sandwhiches are racist is doubly silly. But the lactose inoterence of east asians is related to genetics, and thus is kinda related to race. So if this school district were to make a stink about cheese or dairy being racist there would some kernal of truth buried in the insanity of their thinking.


There was a classic story of a child in a school in Sydney Australia being bullied by students of a particular religious persuasion because his mother makes him "ham" sandwiches.


Jews? Muslims?

A gentile was in the minority (in a place outside of Israel) and was bullied by Jewish kids for eating ham?

Never heard of that.

Not true. One can have a minor allergic reaction to peanuts the first time out, but that indicates that further contact with peanuts may produce a more severe reaction.

No sorry, what I meant was that if you forbid people to eat food for political correctness, you will eventually run of food that it's ok to eat - because that's human nature.


Banning anything with peanuts has nothing to do with being PC. Being allergic to peanuts is very serious and it's not the same as any other food allergies. Being exposed to it is harmful, if someone has the oil on their hands and they touch the person who is allergic to it, it can be very harmful for them. Look it up.


I know you read the OP because you quoted it above - so why do you think we're talking about allergies? Whole other topic.
