Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy 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."

When I started my uni course.....
....we had a couple of people turn up and talk to us all about a mentoring scheme they ran. They talked to us for about 15 minutes and we were all thinking how good it sounded.
Then they told us that it was only open to black or asian students.
We were all white.
We pointed this out and were told that maybe we should think about how we could encourage more black students on to our course.
