Jamie Oliver has pulled his kids’s guide from sale, following criticism by First Nations neighborhood leaders that his kids’s guide is offensive and dangerous.
The Guardian newspaper experiences that it had been notified Sunday by Oliver’s publishers Penguin Random Home UK that it had withdrawn Billy and the Epic Escape from sale in all international locations the place it holds rights, together with the UK and Australia.
This got here after First Nations Australians referred to as for the TV chef to withdraw his kids’s guide, saying it included a “damaging stereotype of First Nations folks and experiences.”
The Guardian newspaper yesterday reported that the guide’s subplot has a younger First Nations woman residing in foster care in an indigenous neighborhood close to Alice Springs who’s stolen by the guide’s villain.
The Nationwide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Training Company (Natsiec) referred to as the story “damaging, disrespectful, accusing Oliver of contributing to the “erasure, trivialisation, and stereotyping of First Nations peoples and experiences.”
The Guardian experiences that Oliver has now issued a second assertion: “I’m devastated to have brought about offense and apologize wholeheartedly.
“It was by no means my intention to misread this deeply painful subject. Along with my publishers now we have determined to withdraw the guide from sale.”
And his publishers stated: “We’ve agreed with the writer, Jamie Oliver, that we’ll be withdrawing the guide from sale.”
