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."

Yeah, I guess it is racist,
But the guy was a complete cnut, and it was the easiest thing to pick up on. If he had been of a caucasian persuasion I would probably made a fool of his stupid attire, but he played the race card, so I turned round and threw it right back at him. And *prepares for lynching* I'd do it again to anyone who tries to play the race card at me.
*goes to think up alternative retorts for people playing the sexist/homophobia cards*
