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."

Cooncil is slang here in Scotland, but did those 2 unfortunates care to know that or jump on the instantly racist idea?
Just as bad as someone else reporting racism from listening in to a conversation.
For shame b3ta...for shame.
Oh and ps - The original post there is bollocks too as I am in Glasgow plenty.

In all fairness
How the fuck was I to know what your silly scotch words mean?
Also, he's totally missed the point. They're not renaming Christmas, they're renaming the public holiday that surrounds Christmas. Hence why Ramadan isn't being renamed.
