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."

Don't forget Postman Pat!Introduced an Asian family to redress the balance of not having any ethnic minorities in the show.
Has anyone at the BBC actually been to an idyllic English rural backwater recently? Ethnic faces are generally conspicuous by their absence, certainly up in my neck of the woods anyway. Oh, and the voices they gave the family were truly hideous and quite offensive in my view.
