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)

Ooooh, it's all got a bit intellectual hasn't it...I am going to unlurk (a rare event) and chip in my two pennies.
It's easy to see why the Oxford students are upset, if these two prize fuckwits were going to turn up at my student's union and spread their hatemongering, racist, filth I would be just a little annoyed with those who allowed it to happen.
On the other hand, now it's all arranged and they have been invited whinging about it is kind of counter productive. If the students weren't complaining and demonstrating, no one outside of Oxford would even know that these two little fuckers were appearing. The only people who would know what they said would be the 100 or so political science students who gave enough of a damn to turn up. But now, through their complaining, the Oxford students have made sure that everyone in the country knows about the event, they have effectively handed this pair of cunts a platform to reach hundreds if not thousands of times the number of people they would ever have been able to talk to at the debate.
I can’t remember where I read it but I saw someone say recently that these two can stand anything except being ignored, and it seems to be very true. Whilst their opinions are stupid I don’t think either Griffin or Irving is, what with the students demonstrating and all the media attention they are getting this couldn’t have gone any better for them if they planned it (which it’s quite possible that they did!)
Right, rant over, rest assured my next post will feature significantly more crudely drawn magenta cocks!
