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)

The utter genius of this postis that the negative responses represent everything that anti PC people hate. Why is it that it's hardly ever the group supposedly being attacked that complains?
It is so often an overly sensitive member of the majority with a bizarre guilt complex that jumps in with their size 12 legislation boots and starts moaning and wailing about percieved inequalities often without understanding the situation properly or even thinking to consult the "injured" party.
Anyone who couldn't see the that Mr. Pooflakes answer was a joke is either terminally dim, or was so keen to take the moral high ground that they didn't even read the answer properly.
Go and find something useful to do with yourselves and retract your organic, fairtrade, multi cultural awareness paddle and let people just get on with their lives.
