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)

Absolutely......one group of straight mates that I've known for about 15 years (and I've only been out for about 5 or 6), were tripping over themselves every five minutes, casting nervous glances in my direction when they said anything that even remotely related to general poofyness. It took me a while to train them out of it, at the last saying to one that I'd be happy to pin him against the wall and bum him if the topic meant that much to him lol.
Now they're as irreverent as ever, but all the time people say something that I barely notice as relative to it and say 'oh, sorry, I didn't mean...' - sadly I don't know everyone well enough to tell them to dry the fuck up :)
Like you say though, as soon as I get non-PC about the likes of us, they chill out for awhile. Only for awhile though.
