This is a question Political Correctness Gone Mad

Freddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

How has PC affected you? (Please add your own tales - not five-year-old news stories cut-and-pasted from other websites)

Police
I was rejected from the police force because in my interview i had to describe a time I had faced confrontation. I detailed about how on a night out we had a knife pulled on us, and how my mate gave the would be attacker a good shoeing. I then went on to explain how i calmed my friend down from going onto the other attackers who were now fleeing leaving their mate bleeding in the gutter.

Apparently something in the above paragraph is politcally insensitive and incorrect. Try and guess what it is...

was it....
assuming that the guy "would" attack, thus judging him as a criminal before he actually acted like one?

Was it the "Shoeing" comment
because pointing your shoes at someone is insulting in the arab world (you racist barsteward).

Winnar!
Apparently the phrase 'shoeing' is indeed inappropriate. Even though I aced everything else and was an ideal canidate I was rejected.
