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."

Pedantic, moi?Assuming that I remember correctly, a "mulatto" is someone who has a white father and a black mother. The term dates from British colonial times, when this sort of thing was somewhat frowned upon, because it basically meant that the invaders had gone off with local women.
On the other hand, have lots of fun with Wikipedia at: snipurl.com/whatcolour
