Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy 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."

we had a 'diversity awareness' week at workand on the friday we could choose a film to watch.
I suggested Blazing Saddles in all seriousness, but was promptyl told that would be inappropriate, probably becuase it was funny and satirical, whilst the evetual choice was some hand-wringing heartfelt drama about lesbians or something
EDIT: checked, they chose CRASH (I assume you new one, not the David Cronenberg-sex-with-leg-wounds one, which is probably a better example of diveristy)
