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)

Swifty,We have agreed to an extent, in that we have laws governing speech which causes a public disturbance (like yelling "Fire") and speech which incites racial hatred. So there are clear statutory limits on what you can and cannot say. To try and ban or prevent someone from saying anything which doesn't contravene these laws is excessive censorship.
