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 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.
