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)

Trump them.Explain that "Mothers' Day" derives from "Mothering Sunday", which has nothing much to do with any living person's mother, but is entirely to do with some arcane point of Catholicism - something to do with Mary, no doubt. It's entirely Christian and religious in its origin.
Fathers' day, by contrast, was invented merely to sell greetings cards. So although it's a cretinous idea, at least it's more PC than Mothers' Day.
