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."

I know a guy who has been known as "Sam" for over thirty years nowdespite his real name being something totally different...apparently when he was young he got some kind of disease that made him get scabs on his face and his lips swell up, so he acquired the unfortunate nickname of "scabby sambo" and it stuck...
