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."

Complaining about racism is racistI have a work college who is hard core racist, the whole "Hitler was right, I collect German WW2 propaganda" thing. I got sick of having to listen to this crap at work and tried to make a complaint only to be told
A) as I wasn't actually being subject to racist abuse directed at me it didn't count
B) He's Serbian and to quote my manager 'that's just what those people are like'
So apparently I'm being an intolerant hate-monger for not wanting to listen to his shit.
