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)

I half-agree with KernKraftThe point is that many of these policies are actually introduced by politicians terrified of offending anybody- it is hardly the case that immigrants themselves change these rules as your post implies.
In fact, your post is a massive strawman, mixing and matching different problems with immigration. For example, the part about blowing people up is obviously a reference to muslim extremists - most of whom are completely home-grown, and are 2nd generation or more. Indeed, there are cases where they have been converts to Islam. You also talk about road signs having their language changed... Complete fiction with no basis in reality.
And when has anyone ever been forced to learn a language at school that wasn't a European language? Your post in general smacks of reactionary rhetoric, and the very fact you pointedly defend your right to free speech it then imply that one should click ignore rather than address what you have said is extremely hypocritical.
I can see how you would get angry if you met someone from another country with these opinions, but you seem to be taking it as a general representation of all immigrants.
