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)

As a biker of 10 years...I can say that not wearing a helmet is a selfish thing. Everyone makes mistakes and I have had accidents where I walk away without a scratch my life saved by the helmet. I would hate for some poor learner who just fucked up a little to have my death on their conscience just cost I thought hey lets not wear a helmet it only affects me (and the NHS and the 8 year olds walking passed who saw my head smashed on the road and my family feeding me and wiping my ass)
THe way I look at it is if Sikhs aren't allowed to take off their turbans then they shouldn't be allowed to ride motorbikes. End of.
