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."

A brown-skinned friend of minedoesn't wear a turban (he's bald), but he does carry a rucksack with him on the tube, which combined with his complexion and sinister stubble makes him look pretty much exactly like the stereotype middle-eastern terrorist.
Although he likes the space he gets on the tube carriages, he's bought a T-Shirt which reads "Don't freak, I'm a Sikh!"
