Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy 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."

I work for an American Company...
So am subjected to endless educational videos to ensure I'm trained in being a decent human being and that I treat my collegues with dignity regardless of race or gender.
Sadly the videos don't include Dwarves.
And as a geek, when see one I always imagine them in chainmail and fighting orcs.
Is D&D gone made I tell you!
