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)

my own funi get load of pleasure winding up my mates boyfriend whom is a racist, and would be homophobic if he wasn't gay.
Its so funny to hear him, a madeira born migrant to our fair shores, complaining about the "bloody foreigners blah blah blah" and "shes so fat......" and laughing at dwarves.
And i occasionally use the term "gay" as south park intended and i do feel bad about it.
He doesn't understand PC at all. To him it simply does not exist. And he certainly doesn't see why him calling a spade a spade (no pun intended) should be a problem.
This is why when out in public i like to whisper things to him that are both reprehensible and wrong on many levels. He then explodes with laughter and screams all sorts of non-pc phrases.
Shame on me. He can't help it. I can, and just don't mean it.
And he loves the daily mail. And believes what nurses tell him as gospel truth.
