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."

ConfusionHere in Dull, (oops typo), there's a Women's Refuge place called "Purple House" (because it's a house painted bright purple.)
But also, there's a strip-club called Purple Door.
Try not to confuse them when speaking to social services.
