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)

KernKraftNow…I'm not going to answer every reply from people that have their panties in a knot regarding my light hearted attempt at humorously combining every immigrant-related stereotype I could think of, into a collective single incident for the purposes of the QOTW.
I am glad you have not met a single person from another country who has been guilty of the things I listed above. Unfortunately I have, and as you can tell from some of the posts on this QOTW, so have many others.
However…I’m just a normal bloke who happens to write posts on B3ta – normally at his own expense. I don’t go around in a white hood and robes…I abhor racism in all respects. Racism is born of fear…fear of difference…I don’t see the point. So let’s get real here – This is a post about political correctness on a (normally) fun site. I’m not in Covent Garden inciting racial hatred
So I ask you who is being ignorant here? You haven’t seen it with your own eyes so it doesn’t happen? We are both merely commenting based on the facts that have presented themselves before us. You, however felt the need to speak for the ‘vast vast vast majority’. I didn’t. I thought I’d take the piss out of the minority that serves to take advantage and ruin our society for the ‘vast vast vast majority’
I’m not prepared to go into how I may or may not be affected by what goes on, I really can’t be arsed, I don’t read the Mail and It’s not for me to say. What makes us essentially British is our sense of humour, our tolerance (as mentioned by faragher (and lol for the Southern Spain line btw)), the way we embrace and welcome all cultures, but most of all the fact that WE WILL NOT BE FUCKED WITH.
Anyhoo, thanks for the ‘bollocks’ comment…it really added weight to your argument.
So in summary , this is a free country. Please feel free to push the ‘Ignore’ button if you can’t take my style of posts. I can rest assured that there are many B3tans out there who understand where I'm coming from and lack of malice in my intentions
To quote another misunderstood man who has recently become pilloried onB3ta when he’s never done anyone any harm…
Cheers
