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."

Thanks for clarifying that EurosongOriental, imagine that?
I shall have to tell the local Japanese restaurant to stop referring to their food as Asian cuisine.
And, is this the same Oriental as Oriental/Occidental? As in East/West of the Greenwich meridian? How far east do you have to go before you start being oriental?
Are people from Norwich Oriental, even though they're classed as European, a geographic denomination.
And, why is the Middle East, closer than India? If China, etc, is Far East, does that make India THE East?
