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)

Holiday SeasonI live in the South, close to a town called Havant... last Christmas the local Evening News reported that Havant Town Council had announced that the Town would call Christmas the "Holiday Season"...
Number of Mosques in Havant - zero,
number Synagogues - zero,
number of Hindu/Buddist/Sikh Temples - zero.
4 Churches and about 16 pubs though. Surely this reports back a fairly low demographic of multinational cultures that should take offence to the time of year being refered to as Christmas?
