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)

"I’m quite astonished at the stories on here."Any other QotW, people take it as read that a goodly proportion of the stories, particularly the astonishing ones, are made up, exaggerated, retold as happening to the person when in fact they vaguely remember reading it somewhere, etc
For some reason, make it about 'PC gone mad' and all powers of discrimination and analysis for plausibility/being-debunked-somewhere-else vanish. Why are people so willing to believe that these stories are true?
