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."

The only problem I have
with what you've said is this.
I know that people come here and be unreasonable in their expectations of what we should do for them. I know that they do not necessarily appreciate the good things that they get when they come to the UK.
BUT
One of the things that the UK is really good at is tolerance and accepting other people. Just because they come here and be unpleasant grasping system buggering cunts doesn't mean that we should give up our strong values...
And actually, I'm pretty sure that what you have described in your post is most of Southern Spain, a good chunk of France and the a fair bit of Australia :p
