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."

College..I've heard this second hand, so don't really know if it's true.
Before I carry on, I should say that Lewisham College (for those that haven't been there) can be quite rough. At one point, they actively encouraged the local police to patrol the corridors.
My story concerns a couple of members of staff. Walking down the corridor, talking. Suddenly they come across two African gentleman, wielding sharpened broom handles at each other. One goes to stop them, and call the police. The other said "Leave them alone, it might be some sort of Tribal thing.". Suffice it to say, they police came and took them away
