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."

... but...I and my colleagues have quite a lot to do with research ethics committees. If there was an experimentally valid reason why only righties could be used, there ought to have been no problem with advertising for righties only. If there was no scientifically valid reason - say, if it'd've meant having to go to the hassle of booking a different room - then fair enough.
Possibly a case of "half-a-story" and/ or the admin people getting unwarrantedly jumpy.
