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)

Stereotypical Racist Workmate...
Or a complete and utter moron?
-At every opportunity he gets: "Bloody PC brigade"
-On seeing a young Asian lad wearing an England shirt with Rooney on the back: "Look at him man. He's just trying to cause trouble"
-On terrorism: "There was no terrorist attacks until these bloody Afghan's came over". And on pointing out that we celebrate an attempted terror attack on November 5th: "Nah. That wasn't terrorism"
-Calling everyone he doesn't like a "Dorty Mexican"
-His pet name for Asians: "Achmel Foley's" (He's a big fan of Eddy Murphy)
-And when I asked him to list his favourite races in order he said: "Blacks, Whites, Everyone else, then Asians" Bear in mind, he is white.

But we don't celebrate a terrorist attack on Nov. 5th
We (by which I mean you) celebrate it being foiled and the (alleged) perpetrators being brutally killed.
