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."

Proudly stood my groundMe, I am a member of Amnesty. I try to do good things. I believe in human rights. I work in a school, it is hard when the kids are abusive to us and then turn the racism card on us. A kid who is of ethnic descent, been here for a couple of years was verbally abusing me, using sexist and homophobic slang against me. I reported him to the Deputy head, who brought us into a meeting. I was told that I was being racist because I was not allowing for cultural differences. Where the boy came from Lesbians are scum apparently. What a shame that a few days later he did the same thing again, but out of school. The Police took the matter considerably more seriously, threatening behaviour etc. They took evidence from the school, but the school failed to back me up. where is the justice there?

It's a shameas most black people seem to be rather homophobic. It's the same with most Muslims. Doesn't make it ok, but we do tend to be stuck in a bit of a no-win situation none the less. perhaps its time they started moving out of the dark ages and treating others how they demand to be treated themselves.
