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."

I fear for my future......for i have just been promoted. I'm now in charge of an entirely white, entirely male, engineering department for a big multinational corporation. I can just see the emails arriving in my inbox from some sod in Sweden about ethnic minorities and how my department doesn't have enough of these minorities. That said, i've been a factory spark for 13 years now, and EVERY engineer i've had the pleasure (or mis-fortune (i'm looking at you Pat Brown)) to work with has been very white, and very male.
