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)

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.
