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."

Blackboards.They are NOT called CHALKBOARDS, they are called blackboards. They are boards which are black.
I hate this political correctness bollocks when it comes to renaming objects that would never cause offence.

you're right about blackboards...Because we all know white boards are far superior.
Or should I have said 'Wipe board'?

That depends on the colourPersonally, I started calling them chalkboards because most of the chalkboards I was using, were green.
