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."

Oh yeah
I also thought that a lot of the point about racism was the fact that people put a label on a colour. I would consider a black british person to be a British person, so therefore they go under the Brit awards. The next step in integration is to stop things that are labelled like that or segregated.
I might have a stupid point being middle class white british but I couldn't give a flying fuck what colour someone is or where they come from.
