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."

The thing is...
No one is going to research whether these urban myths are true or not, because all the "PC gone mad!" bigots want them to be true in order to reaffirm their prejudiced beliefs... If they actually found out that there's no "PC Brigade" out there to censor them, it would take away their feeling of being oppressed and righteous, which is half the fun of being a Daily Mail type.
