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)

Only thing I can think of.....During a drunken discussion one night about racism and PC and such, my drunk friend turned to the rest of us, extended a finger for effect and uttered the immortal phrase "There's 2 kinds of racism. Laughing at people because they're black....... and NOT laughing at people because they're black." We thought about this staggering insight for a few seconds then the entire room collapsed into hysterics.
