Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy 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."

Where?
I'd thought you'd moved to Australia, hence opening yourself up to more chronologically apt "fuck off back to your own country" comments.
A few months after I moved to Australia I saw a car sticker on the back of someone's ute (think "white van man" but with more sunshine) saying "Fuck off, we're full!" and seriously wondered what type of fucked up hick country I'd moved to.
