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."

Are jew mental?There's a guy in my work who used to be a taxi driver - and as we all know, taxi driver's are a model of political correctness. Anyway, this guy is a bit of a socialist - he's always quoting Lenin and he fully supports George Galloway and Tommy Sheridan. Oh, and he fucking hates the jews. In one of my first conversations with him he made reference to a 'secret Zionist cabal that pulls the strings of all world governments.' He's a fucking nutter.
During our conversation, I asked him if he considered himself to be anti-semitic. He became quite annoyed about this. He pointed out that 'semitic' refers to a specific part of the middle east, containing Israel, so therefore the Palaestines are also 'semitic,' and he fully supports Palaestine. He prefers to be labelled 'anti-Zionist.'
So there you go - the politically correct term for an anti-semite is an 'anti-Zionist.' You learn something new everyday...

It's also completly wrong.A Zionist is Jew who seeks to create or enlarge the state of Israel. Not all Jews are Zionists at all. In fact there's a London based group called Judaism against Zionism, and many Orthodox Jews in Israel are anti-Zionist as they say Zionism goes against the tenants of Judaism.
Assuming your colleague hates all Jews, it's completely wrong of him to label himself anti-Zionist, he should go for prick, it'd be far more fitting.
As for myself I just hate Israelis, I call myself 'someone who's met lots of them'.
