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."

not perfectly on questionbut back in the day, when i was all young and innocent at school, we were in drama class (compulsory, im not a thesp) and had to act out something or another which for whatever reason involved a bear, one of the people in my group was indian or pakistani or something like that, and i suggesested 'you should be the bear, you're the right colour'. God knows what would happen to me if i did something like that now, even if it was childhood innocence
