But Mr Sessions refused to acknowledge the ‘silly mistake’ could anger some people.
‘We’re mortified this has become an issue of any kind and why anyone would be offended, we don’t know,' he told an Australian newspaper.
‘We’ve said to bookstores that if anyone is small-minded enough to complain about this silly mistake, we will happily replace [the book].’
LOL, nice attitude. Wonder how many black people live in Australia? Interesting how 'pepper' and 'black people' are so similar in context that it would confuse a so-called professional proofreader. But oh well..

This is as silly as the whole "Attention: All black people leave the store" thing. LOL

"How spicy would you like your meal? Caucasian, mulatto, black 0r - for the real culinary daredevil - aboriginal?" lol
I want to know is how it slipped past the editors and proofreaders. That publisher needs a tablespoon of new hires and a pinch of accountability.
