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)

Cause and effect.The study shows that black people tend not to be as smart as others. This does NOT say that being black is the cause. In fact, there's NO suggestion of any possible cause, merely an identification of the effect.
So switch off your outrage and switch on your brains and try to think why such an effect exists (perhaps, as someone has mentioned, the lack of advancement opportunities in racist environments such as much of the US), rather than jumping to the conclusion that race is the cause and trying to hide and silence the effect.
