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."

But free speech must have limitsFor example - you shouldn't have the right to shout 'Fire' in a crowded cinema, as people may be injured in the ensuing panic, just as you don't have the right to shout 'Bomb' aboard an aeroplane.
I agree with the general idea of free speech, but in practice it's very hard to know where to draw the line. After all, there must be a line somewhere. Unfortunately, no-one can agree where it should be.
