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."

Alternatively:OK. Let me see... Do you think the discussion goes:
"Oh no, we can't have three white people here, because we'll look racist, and the PC police will be on to us"
Or:
"Well, our market research shows that a significant proportion of our customers aren't white. Why don't we put a black person into the advert to represent that section of the consumers?"
It's not all a "PC gone maaad!" conspiracy you know, in this case it's just basic capitalism.
