This is a question Political Correctness Gone Mad

Freddy 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)

My old boyfriend Simon's Grandad
Was a bit behind the times. He used to terrify children for his own amusement.. chasing them across his property with a stick when they dared shortcut home from school etc.

Anyway, he has heaps of Maori friend's and stuff, but he's racist as hell.

At Simon's 21st everyone was sat around drinking - his Maori friends included.. and Simon's dad was going on about how his tyre blew out on the way from Auckland and he was going to have to buy another one. Grandad's response?

"you should just sell it to the maoris".

everyone turned at looked at old grandad, it was rather funny though. Seems to be his answer to everything that breaks.. oh the maori's will want that...

Like all 40,000 of them?

Not nearly as bad as some of the old rellie's around here though.

I'm confused
Were you going out with Simon or his grandad?

"Hey girls, I went out on a date last night"
"Who with?"
"My boyfriend Simon's grandad"
"Doesn't he have a name, or do you just call him Simon's grandad?"
etc..

slightly underestimated there.. just a tad.

Oh - and his name was Grandpop.. Well, not his name clearly, but what everyone called him. Diamond Geezer.
