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."

did that on a tv interview once, he was in a question/answer session with journalists and he said, 'yeah, the paki's are giving us a lot of help in the war or terror' or something like that. the guardianistas over here were up in arms.
Incidentally, is it true that the use of the word 'oriental' in the US is offensive?
