Political Correctness Gone Mad

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."

Reminds me of
that girl who was caught smuggling heroin or whatever it was in Singapore, and was bleating about being sentenced to death.
Well tough shit. That's the way they do it in Singapore. It's their country. They don't have a crime problem.
I don't necessarily agree with all of their laws, but I have to respect them when I'm there.
Good on you to have the courage to write this, Pooflake.
