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."

hear, hearhowever that applies to everyone. So if UK citizen's sexual preferences, desire to drink alcohol, desire to wear revealing clothing, acceptance of mixed public bathing and so on happen to offend your religious / personal beliefs and you'd rather the country was run differently - tough. Either change the way we are through the ballot box, keep your opinions to yourself or leave.
Toleration works both ways. In the West, we have gradually evolved to be tolerant of everyone regardless of gender, ethnic background, sexuality and so on AND YOU KNEW THIS BEFORE YOU CAME HERE. If you want to live in an intolerant theocracy - there are plenty to choose from - but not here.
