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."

blacks and BlacksAt the University of Michigan in the late 1980s when I went to university, the black student association (I've forgotten the exact name) demanded that the school newspaper capitalize the word "black" when referring to black people. They insisted that the word "white" could not be capitalized in the same way since "whites were a bunch of mongrels".
Slaves to the (then) new PC movement, the newspaper start capitalizing the word 'black'. In victory, black students went around wearing shirts that read "It's a Black thing, you wouldn't understand."

I hopeT-shirts were printed for the white students saying 'Yes we do, you're a bunch of cunts'.
You could get around the PC backlash by pointing out you're not calling black people a bunch of cunts. You're calling people wearing the 'It's a Black thing....' T-shirts a bunch of cunts.
