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."

My Grt Grandad was from Schleswig-Holstein in N. Germany. In my teens, I looked like a poster-boy for the Nazi youth. I've give up bothering to apply for jobs with the council, the NHS or in education.
That last bit's not true, there's no real demand for an IT layabout.
