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."

its all a bit stupidi hate political correctness.
i will apologise for not having read the whole qotw and am probably saying something that someone else has already said but....
the one that makes me piss is those schools no longer having sports days because the kids who arent as athletic will lose and feel bad. i take it you will all also be entirely against exams or in fact any kind of marking of work in any way, after all the dumbass kisd might not do as well and will therefore feel bad.
and no more interveiwing candidates for jobs, you will now have to randomly pick a name out of a hat, after all just because someone pissed aropund at school and got shit grades or is just downright stupid does not mean they shouldnt get the job, after all it may hurt their feelings!
my little boy will not be sheltered from losing or doing badly, he will be shown how bad it is and to do better next time!
arrrrrgghhhh im off to read the rest now and chew on my desk for a bit. its made of wood, i hope i havent insulted any trees

Teach him that he should always do his bestbut also that winning isn't everything.
The experience gained from losing despite trying your best can be quite valuable.
People who think otherwise grow up to be utter cunts (in my experience)
