Political Correctness Gone Mad

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."

Too young to be racist, too old to be innocent
In Year 1 of Primary School we implemented Schoolyard Sharia Law and using some wet paper towels we'd found discarded in some forgotten corner, we pelted one of our fellow classmates. This lad was a dick yet he was also Asian meaning it was instantly labeled as racist attack and that we needed to be taught a lesson. What followed was a whole afternoon of impromptu lessons on races, colours, creeds etc. I'm sure at one point they even whipped out a special episode of Geordie Racer where Blue Flash gets called an Poofy Pidgeon by a flock of seagulls. The whole idea of this was to teach us that the lad we'd attacked was no different to us.
Yes he fucking was! He was the only fucker at the school who'd chewed the end of every single pencil in the class. It had nothing to do with the fact he was Asian, more to do with the fact we had to use them spittle covered writers too!

Yeah...
That's what I don't like about PC. If you happen to genuinely not like an asian/black chap/woman because they're a completely twunt to everyone you're supposed to hide your feelings.
I thought racial equality meant that you should be equal with all other races and therefore free to complain/bitch about other people despite their skin colour.
