It is a tiny misprint, but an Australian publisher had to pulp a cookbook after one recipe called for "salt and freshly ground black people" to be added to the dish, AFP reported Saturday.
Penguin Group Australia pulped and reprinted about 7,000 copies of "Pasta Bible" after the typographical error was found in the ingredients for spelt tagliatelle with sardines and prosciutto, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.
I don't believe it was a typo. To many letters wrong to convince me. Someone was typing what they were thinking. Their thinking speaks volumes about what's in their head that shouldn't be. My 2¢.

I totally understand how u feel, but it is a little funny in more ways than one
That's what you get for relying on spell check rather than actually reading it.
Meanwhile, gotta say I'm a little miffed. Are only certain races good enough for the meatloaf? I'll have you know I would taste good too! I may be a little gamey, but I'm still tender.
I think it could have been a legitimate typo by someone whose mind was somewhere else as they were transcribing (or whatever they were doing) the cookbook. Australians do not have the same consciousness of "racism", nor reactions about it, that we have in this country. And, as far as I know, they do not refer to their own native populations as "black people". Only in a country like the US would something like this be blown up into a big deal. JMHO

I have to agree with this. Most typos are because of interuptions or someone yakking with others and typing at the same time, then not checking their work. Look at some of the posts on CD for example.
I've been to Australia and never saw any form of racism. They are very much a polite and courteous society.
That is NOT an accident! And if it was, indeed, a typo (as I get older, words scramble more in my ADD brain, which runs amok all the time ~ so I agree with Cunuco Beach on this one), then where was the PUBLISHER???
The publisher was elsewhere while a minion was letting spell check do their job.
Don't forget that it could just as easily been white people (there is white pepper), and do you think that it would have been as big a deal if it was? I think not.

I tend to agree with you.
