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."

Fit in how? Within this country there is such a wide range of subcultures and beliefs anyway, surely there's nothing wrong with wanting to continue your culture here?
Also, I tend to be a bit leery about statements that need the qualification "Oh I have plenty of *insert ethnic minority here* friends".
