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)

Its sadi'm on the other coast, and i feel it too. Its sad, that these liberal individuals have taken it so far, that they feel any sort of pride in where they are from, is a stain on themselves. Frankly, I fly a flag in front of my home, and always will. Sometimes the electorate does make mistakes, but we always end up correcting ourselves later. But on the whole, if you look at what we have done as a nation world wide, I think we have done far more good than bad.
Its funny our media jumps on any case that smells of racism, and when a lot of those cases blow up in their faces, they cant even be contrite enough to say - sorry - we really wanted to make so and so look bad.
Never happen sadly.
