Blatant Racial Discrimination

A class of five-year old schoolchildren return to the classroom after playing in the playground during their break time. The teacher says to the first child 'Hello Kylie, what have you been doing this playtime?'

Kylie replies, "I have been playing in the sand pit".

"Very good", says the teacher, "if you can spell 'sand' on the blackboard, I will give you a biscuit."

Kylie duly goes and writes "s a n d" on the blackboard.

"Very good", says the teacher and gives Kylie a biscuit.

The teacher then says "Shane, what have you been doing in your playtime?"

Shane replies, "Playing with Kylie in the sand pit."

"Very good", says the teacher. "If you can spell 'pit' on the blackboard, I will also give you a biscuit."

Shane duly goes and writes "p i t" on the blackboard.

"Very good", says the teacher and gives Shane a biscuit.

Teacher then says, "Hello Mohammed, have you been playing in the sand pit with Kylie and Shane?"

"No", replies Mohammed, "I wanted to, but they wouldn't let me. Every time I went near them they started throwing sand at me and calling me nasty names."

"Oh dear," says the teacher. "That sounds like blatant racial discrimination to me - I tell you what, if you can spell 'blatant racial discrimination' I will give you a biscuit".
