Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy 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)

huh?"I couldn't possibly see m[y?]self criticising myself or them for their shitty views".
Really? Not only inconsistent ("shitty" looks like a criticism to me), but intellectually spineless as well. Noone has a right to any view*; none is, nor ought to be, immune from criticism.
* That's not the same as saying that anyone else has a right to shut them up, though: noone has any rights at all because there's NO SUCH THING. There are duties and virtues; ostensible rights were cooked up much later and don't really add anything beyond whininess.
