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)

Thanks for the supportand I perhaps didn't express myself clearly on the Iraq issue. The protest marches there could conceivably have had an effect, although in the end they didn't. In this case, the only way to dissuade the Union from inviting the speakers would have been to show them valid reasons why they shouldn't, not just to wave banners. In the event, there were reasoned attempts before these protests, but obviously the Union, acting perfectly within its rights, decided that these reasons weren't sufficiently convincing.
