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)

Yank LandFor those that dont know, I work in Merkin land. The money is good, and the petrol cheap, so who am I to grumble?
I digress, PC is nuts over here. Take, for example, Christmas. Its no longer Christmas. Its now a "holiday". Christmas party now is 'holiday party', so as not to offend people of non christian religions. I hear its getting the same in the UK.
While that does piss me off a bit, what pisses me off even more is the fact that other religious festivals, such as Hanuka (Jewish) and Divali (Hindi), are in fact openly celebrated by this and many other companies during "Hanuka" or "Divali" parties. Not "holiday" or "special religious time period event" parties, so it seems OK to have religious events, but ony if you are not Christian. PC gone mad, if you ask me. Cunts.

that is cheap compared to the UKwhere it is currently 2 dollars a litre. Or about 8 dollars a gallon. Stop bitching.

25%Our petrol has raised 25% in five years.
I don't believe PC will get any worse, I think it will become a lot easier as people just get sick of it.
