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)

Being tolerant for everyoneIs anyone else in the position where they seem to be the only one who CAN be politically correct? My family and friends are an educated bunch, but as soon as the topic comes around to (in no particular order):
-Immigration (They're not all Polish and they aren't trying to take your jobs)
-Gun crime
-'Reverse racism' (by which I mean the old bollocks about "Why isn't it racism if the asian bloke picks on the white bloke, it sickens me")
The conversation turns into a Bernard Manning gig? I don't buy into all this PC rubbish, but surely educated people are able to talk about people of different ethnicities without being horrendously racist?

ImmigrationThey're not all Polish and they're not all trying to take your jobs - true.
However, a good number of them ARE here to simply take as much as they can from this country without giving anything back. Not all of them, of course - but significant numbers.
Believe me, I know: I work directly with them.
