Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy 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."

Good but...
My uncle once pointed out a "black man" to my Nan and said out loud;
"Mum, thats mans dirty- he needs a wash"
And I wont get started on my Great-Grandads idea of calling their cat 'Nigger' and embarassing thing to shout for my great Uncle in the streets of Ordsall in Salford in the 1950-60's!
