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)

Norn IronI used to take delight in putting 'Northern Irish', especially if the form was specific to include 'Irish' in the catrgories. I knew I'd just get lumped in with all the other Irish, but I felt I was making my tiny little point.
Now, of course, I can put 'Ulster Scots' as they're officlally recognised!
Oh, and I've lived in mainland UK for all bar two years of my life and have an awful London overspill accent
