Political Correctness Gone Mad

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."

Off on a tangent....
While we seem to be quoting racist remarks in a bid to make ourselfs look and feel better about the liberal view we hold, here's another story from my Uni.
Over heard in Student Services as i was fixing one of their PC's, one of the old female coffin dodgers in charge of the Hardship fund piped "ooo don't believe what they write on those forms - don't you know all black people lie?"
she works in student services for fucks sake?!??!?!? they should be holier/leftier than thou!
