Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy 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 know you 'fairly' well.
and you're pretty near the least racist person I know. It is a joke to play the 'racist' card, and it gets even more ridiculous on the follow-up.
I do hope it works out for you. Racism isn't a trump card to throw down. It's a damned serious accusation, and one you don't deserve.
I can appreciate your frustration.
