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)

Yes, of coursepeople take things too seriously, and Pooflake was obviously only having a laugh.
But whereas he obviously doesn't mean it, a lot of people say the same sort of thing (hence my reference to Littlejohn) and do mean it. And, sadly, this week's QOTW is bringing out the Littlejohns of this board - the sort of people who use PCGM as a cover for their own bigotry.
For every few people who read Pooflake's post and go, "that's funny" there'll be one who goes, "too right, mate, that's just what it's like with these Pakis who come over here."
