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."

And there, in a nutshell
is why I could never live in California. I'd laugh openly at these things and probably be ridden out on a rail (of naturally harvested windfall deadwood, of course, which would then be used to make paper for dozens of weepy poets to scribble on).
I'm liberal- even libertarian- but this shit goes a bit far for my tastes.
