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)

Military PCI'm doing a job for the military, designing lovely new buildings for front line troops.
All the buildings are required to have disabled facilities, but you can't be in the front line military if your disabled, so they have lots of toilets, extra wide elevators, extra wide corridors, wide doors, disabled alarms and monitoring equipment, sockets and switches all mounted at wheel chair friendly heights and no one will ever benefit from them.
Oh and it puts the cost of the job up by many thousands, and all for nothing.
Any you and I pay for it. while private smith gets killed because they have no money to pay for his personal body armour.
Makes you proud don't it.
