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."

my personal view on words for the disabled:'Disabled' shouldn't be used because most 'disabled' people aren't in fact completely unable to function, they're really 'handicapped' ie able to function but have something that makes it harder for them to do so.

My license platesays I'm a disabled person.
In reality, I just have a bit of trouble walking around. Can't go dancing either, which sucks. BUT I CAN STILL FISH! As long as they're not too big.
