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."

the swaztika
from what i know until the Nazis co-oped it, was considered a good luck symbol. Some buildings in NYC have them. It was also used by the Indians (errrr Native Americans - fancy that, cause all humans in the western hemisphere came via the Land bridge connecting Asia and the American continents, which doesnt make them native) as a relgious symbol i believe.
