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)

I'm a smoker *gasp*(that was faux shock - not lack of breath.)
There are many cases of discrimination against smokers. Yes, we know it's going to kill us but it is actually still a matter of personal choice and freedom. The point in the original post was about smoking being banned from outside the building. Companies take the stance that a group of smokers congregating outside a building doesn't look good for the company. It would be rather different, I imagine, if employers were to ban employees from standing outside wearing hijabs during breaks - still a matter of personal choice eh?
