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."

When me and Mrs Farmfoodsman order chinese takeawaywe always refer to it as a 'slanty eyed meal for two'.
Does this make me a bad person?

When I was at schoolmy best friend was chinese.
One day I brought in left over prawn crackers from the previous nights takeaway as a break time snack.
When he asked where I got them I replied "the local chinkie".
Evidently he meant which takeaway restaurant by name, in case he knew them etc.
