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."

General PC fuckwittedness.....Not ENTIRELY on track of the question,but proof that bigotry and unPCness is often just a case of a stupid person not paying attention before they open their mouth.
I work in Spain and a few years ago an American man collared me complaining that the "whole town is full of racist KKK motherfuckers" and that the population were actually cheering them as they paraded through the town centre.
Easter is a very important festival in Spain(especially in the South)and by some strange,ancient quirk of fate,the believers wear a costume identical to that sported by the maniac cross burning Texas fools.
The livid American was stared/shouted at by a bunch of religious fanatics and narrowly missed a bottle that was thrown at him.By my catholic boyfriend.Along with the phrase "If you want to criticise our customs then at least learn about them first,you imbecile"
People would perhaps cause less offence if they took the time to think and ask before they shoot their big mouths off.Mind you,most Americans I´ve met are pushy buggers who think they rule the Universe.
Not very interesting,I know,but I´m bored...
