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)

To jizools:By living in a democracy (i.e. our society), we have to accept that a by-product is that a majority can suppress the rights of any minority. For instance: a referendum on gay rights that is won 51% can repress the 49% minority.
I completely agree with what you're saying, I just thought it was an interesting point.
PS. Also I agree, moral majority does stick in the throat somewhat.
