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)

Mine tooMy Gran was a man-hating racist too. A sign of the era they grew up in perhaps?
I can't think of anything blatantly racist she came out with, just the odd inane comment and a deep mistrust of anyone 'not white', but do remember her having a face on like she was eating dogshit when a black doctor was treating her in hospital.
She also refused to accept that my uncle (her youngest son) was gay. Possibly preferring to believe that he was completely celibate, like herself (certainly since grandpa died, possibly since my uncle was conceived!)
