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."

International StudentsI am blessed enough to work at a crappy blockbuster store so I can have enough money to NOT die during uni.
Being right next to uni I get all of the international students coming in and whenever I complain about one of them my manager gives me a yelling for being racist or something. A few of the troubles include
1. Srilankan guy, absolute tosser who is rude as hell "Dont be so racist jost because he is black"
2. British guy and his girlfriend, whine just like the stereotyped brit, but I hated him because he whined, not because of a stereotype... still got me yelled at
3. Norwegian girls.... no complains... i like it when they come in, same with american girls
Also working for a company that is supposedly meant to be equal to everyone regardless of race, the owner happily uses the words "fucking coons" "stupid queens" whenever he wants... what a twat
