Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter.

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."

Sorry to be educational. But in the meantime try not to be so sensitive, most words start out 'OK' and it is just people's perception of them that change. Twats.
