Political Correctness Gone Mad

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."

I pulled the white average male card last night
was at a club in manchester and after waiting a phenomenal length of time at the bar not being served i complained to the manager (I was reeeally pissed off see)
I mentioned offhand that the barman (barperson?) was only serving the ladies. As soon as I said ladies he stapped to attention and said "be right with you mate"
Got some free drinks out of that :)
length? long enough to get the manager to serve me personally
