This is a question 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 about
Setting up a poll so we can measure the ethnic diversity of b3ta?

I fear we may not be meeting all of our quotas...

Well, we have at least 1 Greek and 1 Geordie . . .
still, it would be interesting to see what the mix is - bring on a poll !!!!!!

I don't know...
...it could lead to discrimination. Unless you're simultaneously black, white, asian, Native American, Hispanic, Inuit, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Taoist, Hindu, Sikh, young, old, fat, thin, alive, dead, long-haired, short-haired, able-bodied, disabled, male, female or other, and originate from every single country and principality on Earth (or other), you risk offending those who aren't. Which is everyone.

In the interests of political harmony, I can't endorse this idea. It will quite clearly start a hate riot which will kill everyone.

i mean
getting percentages of the different ethnicities etc not advertising yourself for discrimination! Not that I believe any b3tan would ever insult or offend another...
