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 have noticed this for you BritishersIn Oztraylia we think of Asia as just up from us a bit; mostly China, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam. Indonesia is Indonesia. India is India. The Phillippines aren't really Asia for us either. And most of all, this big continent bordered more or less on three sides by Asian nations is mos'def' NOT Asia.
Still, with a change in government maybe tomorrow we can start to Asian again, after a lapse of some 10 years....
