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."

cheers timewasterboyI hadn't seen that site before, although I'd heard of the newsgroup. I don't mean "I haven't really thought about it" - I've studied science as long as I've been in education and I've got a degree in Physiology - I mean, I haven't found conclusive proof for one side or the other. As I said, both poles take a certain leap of faith, made easier but no less (or more) scientific by one's worldview.
And aw, thanks RingOfFire for proving my point. Your patronising sympathy really means a lot to a pathetic individual like me. If only I had all the answers like you.
