Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy 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."

Have you noticed
That part of the liberal intellectual mind set is a senseless romanticizing of ethnic identity where it makes no real difference. There's a guy in our office who listens to some fucking shit from Africa - chanting children playing on instruments made out of tree bark and camel nuts or something. But would he listen to English kids wailing along on homemade instruments? I think not. Because that would be tuneless shit.
Or you might be on holiday in Morocco and see some leathery old fisherman by the sea and think about the wisdom of the elders and how they carry the old knowledge. But would you think the same of some flatulent old git on the bus in Leeds who mutters about Pakis?

That's no flatulent old git...
