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)

HijabTo be fair, the whole Hijab while driving thing is one of the errrm good reasons given by the Saudi authorities when asked why women are not permitted to drive in KSA. Not that the Muttawa would hit them with big sticks or anything. Or get them banged up without trial, tortured and publically flogged. It's a safety thing. Obviously.
(And he did say full Hijab not headscarf)
