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)

Nope....I know you're not being patronising, but seriously, this is such a fucking slippery slope it's mental.
Basically, the 'limit' could be thought of as anything you say that could cause imminient danger..i.e. lying. Being dishonest really.
So, no libel, perjury, etc.
Ironically though, you end up with these weird paradoxes like you can't stop the protesters from protesting about stopping the BNP from speaking...
Ah, where's the magenta cocks gone?
EDITL Ooops, Belms being far more eloquent than me there - time for bed I think.
