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."

Interesting, jizzools - thanks.So with representative democracy who makes the final decision? It is just a case of the ruling government deciding by an internal/commons vote etc?
Musuko: I get your point, but I'm not saying that I agree with it, just that it is reality. Now, with jizzools new information it seems I was wrong to say so. But - nonetheless, in an everyday-type situation, the majority can and does suppress the minority. Your example is a perfect illustration. Zyklon B showers and gas ovens were used when the Nazis had a (grudging) compliance from the majority of the population. Remember - the Nazis got to power democratically. It was only when the wider international populace got involved in condemnation and action (hence creating an opposing majority) that it came to an end.
