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."

could it be..To reiterate what I posted t'other day and others have posted similar) about the majority of these policies are implemented by white civil servants who have no business deciding what is offensive to groups and demographics that they aren't part of.
There also seems to be a similar trend with people finding something offensive that doesn't concern them.
IMO, I reckon that is because these self-righteous must tell themselves "if I find that offensive, it must mean I'm a good person".
Surely something is offensive only if someone is offended. Something cannot be deemed offensive if that person is not offended or they can't find someone who has been offended.
Being a white, able-bodied heterosexual male, I am part of a demographic that seems to be the last group on the planet that can still be blamed for stuff.
Length? For only as long as my soapbox will hold my fat arse.
