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."

Irrelevant, but...I was once racially abused by a Rasta. I was walking home from work in Maidstone and he was standing on a street corner. As I passed he said, "Oi, are you a Mick?"
I answered naively that Michael was not my name and I continued to walk away. Whereupon he let forth a torrent of racist abuse at my back: "Bloody micks! Paddy bastard! Bloody IRA - you look Irish you do! Irish bastard..."
I'm not Irish. I spoke to him with a northern accent. Perhaps he was just off his tits on skunk.
