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."

The craziest thing about political correctness in the workplaceis that there are often workshops/meetings lasting for hours to explain the details of the latest legislation changes. Thankfully it's my boss who has to go to them and not me.
The last one he went on was about age discrimination, and he described how we are not allowed to refer to any person with a remark about their age. So now, during our daily banter, I'm no longer allowed to call him an "old cunt" but "cunt" is fine.
