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."

IndiaI mentioned to a faux hippie friend that I was holidaying in Bombay. I planned to stay in my girlfriend's relatives house, as they are Indian and they live there.
My friend said "oh that should be fun, but wouldn't you rather stay in Backpacker hostels, so you can get a taste of the real India"?
