Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy 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)

I don't accuse you of racism
and your post isn't the same as telling every kid that comes into a mosque to go blow up a bus.
I'm just saying that the minority of people that do try and force their way of life upon british people are not the people that make the policies- your post implies that what they say gets done, whereas it doesn't, so rather than the Government being the ones being blamed for "PC gone mad" (something that I believe is an untrue statement- but lets not go into that) the immigrants themselves get blamed.
Unfortunately people are grouped together and the one immigrant with stupid ideas becomes the archetype.
What Im saying is- by blaming immigrants themselves, and not the government (who make policies) you start on a slippery slope towards just blaming immigrants in general- and although you, and most boarders, will be smart enough to realise there is a difference- most people wont.
