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."

I firmly believe the biggest insult to any 'minority' is patronisingly taking for granted the thought that they simply MUST be hyper-sensitive to any reference regarding their race or colour - even if it's not in the remotest way defamatory (i.e - your blackboard reference).
Wo betide you for being black, spotting something else that is black, and noticing that it is called a 'black-something'...NOOOOOOOO! The horror! How come you haven't burst into tears yet?
Now see what you've done blaisetech you bastard, you've only gone and got me singing 'we are the world' again!
