Dining Dilemma
A British police official’s warning that officers should shy away from eating street food at a Sikh festival in London because "their hygiene standards are not as high as ours" was deemed racist and insensitive, reports the Guardian.
The officer reportedly warned her colleagues not to eat food prepared by temples involved in the Guru Nanak procession in west London because an officer had previously eaten there and fallen ill. The officer who gave the warning is now under investigation for making "inappropriate comments."
Suresh Grover of something called The Monitoring Group said the comment smacks of racism.
"This is very serious because issues of religious identity and respect for religion are crucial," he said.
