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."
How has PC affected you? (Please add your own tales - not five-year-old news stories cut-and-pasted from other websites)

Not made up, I assure youIn response to some of the above replies, I assure you I have stated the facts as I was told them. People living in that area of London do get clamped for not displaying a permit - it happened to someone else I know too. Maybe I got the parking patrol officer's job title wrong but the job is the same whatever you call them. And when my friend phoned to contest it she had to ring a mobile number and spoke to someone who was obviously at home (there were the telltale background noises such as a baby crying etc) which suggests the firm is a small outfit and they would certainly know who had been working that day.
So no, I didn't make this up. I wish I had as that would mean I had the imagination to be a successful novelist!
