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)

Bob_ToddMy thoughts exactly. I can't keep up with the correct terms for anything any more. I thought it was considered wrong to use the term 'special school' but apparently not. I also thought 'black' was fine, but again, apparently not. What if you don't know where the person is from? And, going by this logic, why is it OK to call all white people 'white'?
