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)

Through the looking glassInteresting QOTW - currently working in .za, and it presents some interesting PC scenarios to say the least, as well as a murky insight into the boer mindset.
I've lost count of the amount of offensive tirades I've heard from both ends of the spectrum which would make *any* PC advocate shite their own spleen with outrage.
Would highly reccomend a visit for anyone who wants political correctness put into perspective in the grander scheme of things.

my friend's dadIs from South Africa, and something of a relic from the Apartheid days. I can barely go round his house without hearing the aforementioned father saying something about 'Bleks' or 'Keffas'. it's quite embarrassing really, but then once you've been told a lie a million times it becomes the truth i guess.
