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

Political Correctness is the language of cowards!I can stand certain levels of PC behaviour, it makes for a better environment to work in but I knew it had gone too far when I came across this little tid bit at work in the staff manual...
Disabled persons are now to be reffered to as Differently Abled.
WTF!!!
I was lucky enough to have some disabled friends who would come in past work from time to time and I asked tham about it. They were more offended by being called Differently Abled. They all went off on a rant (different people at different times all doing the same thing is great) about how some tight arse down south thinks something is wrong when it clearly isn't and tries to fix it the wrong way (by trying in the first place) and all of them said exactly the same thing when I asked who they thought was responsible.
The Conservitive Party.
I don't know how or why but I agree with them, although I have no evidence as of yet.

HahahaFrom someone who says 'tid bit', the title you chose is hilarious.
Set yourself free; say titbit.

I know where you work!One of my house mates left the staff manual on the coffee table, was a great laugh.
Biggest load of PC rubbish I ever read.
