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."
How has PC affected you? (Please add your own tales - not five-year-old news stories cut-and-pasted from other websites)

PC ThugsI hate political correctness so much I have now purposely started using words such as queer, nonce, nig-nog, pikey, chav, spacker, paddy, fag just to piss off white lefty PC f*cktards.
I have no hatred for any race, gender or class other than white liberal-lefty PC twonks.

You're a flipping idiot!Because you might be trying to piss off "white lefty PC f*cktards" but you're also pissing off gay people and various ethnic minorities too, and do they know what your hahahha secret agenda is, or do they just think you're a prat?

Fail.That's the worst thought out form of passive rebellion ever. I'm not all for saying "Hey let's call brainstorms thoughtshowers" but you're a fucking idiot.
THe reason people say those words is directly because their is a perceived stigma attached to them. Whether or not the words in-themselves are offensive is moot; it is how they are perceived.
Not everyone is offended by being called queer, nig-nog, spaz, crippled, fag or anything else. But a lot of people are.
To put it simply, you just don't get it.

If I might be so bold......I would suggest you refrain from using the term 'spacker', as it may open you up to accusations of hypocrisy.
Evidence pointing to this may be found in your use of the words "I have no hatred for any race... other than white".
Perhaps you might want to think about what it was you were trying to achieve with your post. That you failed is beyond doubt, and subsequent exploration of your failure may avoid similar pitfalls in the future.
Good day, sir.
