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."

BonkersI used to work for a blue chip US multinational, and was all but hounded out by the PC driven loons that get into positions of power in corporations.
My mistake – giving a chance to a woman.
What happened?
Got a temp in for a few weeks working in a support team It was quite a technical role, just 3-4 calls a day to deal with, and she showed some promise but had a long way to go. After a few months I gave her a pay rise and a permanent job. Then she just ‘goes to ratshit’.
I’m a pretty good manger, I try different approaches to improve her performance, but nothing works for more than a week or so. I let her know I think she can do better, there’s no sanctions just coaching and help on my part (big mistake).
Turns out she’s spreading poison about me to every woman she comes into contact with at work– apparently I’m a sexist monster who’s shouting and swearing at her making her ill with stress.
By the time she finally complains officially with the support of the ‘coven’ it’s a done deal. The fact non of it happened, there’s no witnesses, no evidence doesn’t matter. She’s a woman making a complaint against a man, political correctness dictates I am guilty.
It wasn’t the end of the world, I left with a years pay in my back pocket and got a good job, but it stuck in my fucking craw for a while I can tell you.
What happen to the lovely Sarah? It took them a couple more years of shunting her around departments, but eventually they realized she was indeed a lazy incompetent lying cuntbag and sacked her…which was some achievement on her part, if you fitted certain profiles it was all but impossible to get the boot.
What did I learn?
I still employ woman in my new job, but they’ve got to be VERY impressive candidates. No way would I give a border line female candidate a job, it’s not worth the risk.
Well done PC fuckers, you’ve turned me into a sexist employer.

obviously an extreme case,but an interesting point, if its harder to fire/ be belived in disputes with *previously marginalised* groups, then its got to be a deterrent to hiring them....
