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."
How has PC affected you? (Please add your own tales - not five-year-old news stories cut-and-pasted from other websites)

Token Guardian readersI worked until recently for a very large firm, so large that you will spend on average 17% of your pay with them. I drove HGVs. Like most HGV fleets, we were white middle aged men. Some of us were black middle aged men, but not many. Very few of us were women, and only one out of 200+ was a) black and b) a woman. When she resigned because of the steady rain of bullshit ( Google Verylittlehelps), they offered her the choice of shifts, runs and vehicles to keep up the diversity profile. Having self respect, she told them they were wankers.
