Political Correctness Gone Mad

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."

It's probably just me...
but why do they discriminate between people's weight in boxing?? being lighter generally means you're not as good a boxer, but you don't see basketball being divided into height categories, or 100m sprints split into skin colour categories.
What we essentially end up with, is:
Strongest light guy
but not
Fastest white guy.
Go figure
