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)

blackboard"You're complaining about having to call a blackboard a chalkboard?"
Well, yeah - that is possibly the best example of PC gone mad. You're allowed to call a black person black as a descriptive identifying term but you can't call a board which is black a blackboard?! It's not like the colour has ceased to exist or something - there are still many black things and if you're not using it as a negative connotation then what could the problem possibly be?
