Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy 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."

Here's a thing
Irving says the Holocaust didn't happen and has provided 'proof'. He's been imprisoned for denying what most people say is true.
Richard Dawkins has written numerous books debunking religion, upon which most civilisations have been based and which millions of people continue to put their faith in to this day. But I don't see him locked up for blasphemy.
What gives?
Even here on 'no-limits' b3ta - where rape, paedophilia, necrophilia and zoophilia are topics of humour - I don't think I've ever seen an outright racist comment. Except from me, obviously.
What gives?
Censorship works in curious ways.
