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."

Well...I have to say I would have welcomed that box of unknown sometimes.
I used to work in Brighton and the system I used to use to book appointments used to ask for title first. You couldn't do anything until that box had been filled.
That used to cause some real problems as Brighton has more than it's fair share of trans gender people.
I used to ask the name and see if I got a male or female name and go from there.
