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)

How has the PC attitude affected me?Well, to be truthful, it has made me very bitter and angry at the people who decide what is PC and what isn't.
As some have said, getting rid of the obviously un-PC things have made workplaces etc. a bit friendlier. But honestly, shortly before the term PC was coined, did the majority think that racial slurs and discrimination were okay? No.
they went by the looks they received, the P45's they were given, and the beatings they took.
The people who previously thought discrimination was acceptable are not going to be swayed by a new buzzword, or some new pamphlets and paperwork.
I feel the people who live in fear of the PC-fascism are the same people who have never knowingly done or said anything which can be construed as non-PC.
It's the ones who don't give a shit about PC that are the ones who need to be targeted, not the goverment-fearing normal people.
