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)

my story of political INcorrectness is better...So, I work at a certain large American department store. All the employees are these little old ladies who teach during the day and use the money from the department store to pay strippers (probably).
Anyway, yesterday was Black Friday - ie, the day after Thanksgiving, or, the busiest shopping day of the year. I was working at the Dept. store (it sucked), and chatting with some of said little old ladies. They started ranting about horrible customers, culminating in the dropping of this comment:
"If I see ANY TURBANS, I'm walking away. You can take care of the Arabs, Milly."
Really though, working at this store turns even the strictest of liberals into racist hate-mongers. I've learned that Asians always try to trick you into charging less and Hispanics will pay for $5 dollar items with (counterfeit?) hundred dollar bills.
And black people? There are no black people in my state...
