Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter.

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."

Rising Damp?Fucking hell, Rising Damp was NOT racist. Leonard Rossitter's character Rigsby had racist overtones with his dislike of Philip (the black student) but Rigsby was always the one that got the comeuppance, aiming a well-directed kick at his cat Vienna when another plan to seduce miss Jones ended in misery. Now if you mean Mind Your Language on the other hand...
