A primary school class of 7 year olds comes in from playtime and their teacher Mrs Smith asks : "What did you do at breaktime ?''
Sarah says, "I played in the sand pit."
Teacher says, "That's good. Go to the blackboard, and if you can write 'sand' correctly, I'll give you a sweet."
She does and gets a sweet. Teacher asks Morris what he did at recess.
Morris says, "I played with Sarah in the sand pit."
Teacher says, "Good. If you write 'pit' correctly on the blackboard, I'll give you a sweet as well."
Morris does, and gets a sweet too. Teacher then asks Mustaffa Abdul Machmoud what he did at playtime.
He says, "I tried to play with Sarah and Morris, but they threw stones at me and called me names"
The teacher says, "Threw stones at you ? Called you names ? That sounds like blatant and unremitting racial discrimination. If you can go the blackboard and write 'blatant and unremitting racial discrimination' I'll give you a sweet as well.''
