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."

SainsburysI work at sainsburys, stacking shelves (yes, i know i need a better job). my official job title is "replenishment assistant". that's shelf stacker/monkey to anybody normal.
also, they insist on calling shelves "gondolas", and the customer service desk is now the "information point".
like, wtf?

A gondolais the unit on which the shelves themselves (shelves being the horizontal platforms) are affixed. This is just using language accurately, and is not political correctness at all. Sorry.
