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."
How has PC affected you? (Please add your own tales - not five-year-old news stories cut-and-pasted from other websites)

council jobI've applied for a job with the local council. I've sent two identical application forms. The only difference is the name and what box I ticked on "What race are you? (This won't play any part in the vetting process, honestly)"
The alias on the second form sounds somewhat foreign. It stems from the early 90's when I registered with British Gas over the phone, and their call-centre operative got my name completely wrong, even though I spelt it out. Three times.
An interesting experiment, no?
I have a moderately sized penis.

And guess what? The 'white' names were massively more likely to be called back, because (contrary to the whingings of idiots) almost all racial discrimination in society is still against minorities...
