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."

Fairy nuffI retract my 'fuck off'.
I merely wish to point out that my dislike of binmen being rebranded as 'consumer waste technicians'* does not automatically make me want to scream at those 'orrible Muslims for taking over my country**.
I dislike the pettiness of the whole thing - I firmly beleive in calling a spade*** a spade. But, for all that, I have yet to pen an indignant letter to the Daily hateMail.
*May not have occurred
**Definitely did not occur
***An actual spade. No racist connotations.
