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)

A walk what?About 10 years ago I worked in Social Services. I'm fine with politically correct language and agree with the principal of not offending someone or putting people down with the language I use. However one of the people I worked with was PC gone mad. On one occasion she was talking about a walk person - I couldn't work out what she was talking about. "A walk person," I said "what do you mean by a walk person?" She said "You know, a personal stereo".
