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)

lovely, lovely SinterklaasI love Sinterklaas. I've two Dutch ex-boyfriends and have inherited from them the fine art of boobytrapping presents in a messy and amusing manner and scoffing huge quantities of speculaas. Unfortunately they retained their national identity in the ensuing break-ups and I had to go back to drinking crappy Guinness on St. Patrick's Day as a form of patriotic celebration.
You have just inspired me to dig out my speculaas spice and make biscuits.
