Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter.

A Black Man in a suit
A White man in a hoody
A ginger in a cardigan
An Asian Woman in a suit (with trousers)
A Hispanic Woman in a suit (with skirt)
A Sikh Man in a suit
A goth
and:
An Islamic woman in a full eye slit burka.
guess they were afraid of offending them.

WellIt's good to see the much-maligned ginger culture being recognised. It is a terrible affliction, after all...
