I dont know how far the situation has progressed in the US, but in the UK its completly ridicoulous. Every single textbook has to pass through censorship before it is printed to ensure there is the correct proportion of ethnic minorities, yada yada.

It is now "pollitically incorrect" to have a question which begins "john and jane are attempting to measure...". It needs to be replaced with "Sanjeep and Mohammed Singh Baldginder are attempting to measure...".

For fucks sake, do people not have anything better to do than dumben down the average person. Language only becomes offensive if it is treated as such. Anyone with an IQ over 2 can deduce that when I say "I think we should have a quick brainstorm to decide the course of action", I am reffering to a so called 'mind-map', and not saying "I think you should just lapse into an epileptic fit, shrivel up and die.".

It may be a difficult concept for the equal rights beurocrats to grasp, but ill try and explain it simply. Snowmen are white, because *SNOW* is white. Unless you add some urine to darken the skin tones, precipritation is not inherintly racist. Get over it.

If I wish to drink some "white coffee" as opposed to "coffee with added milk", I am merely stating my prefference of additives to a drink. The term "black cofee" does not in fact imply "faq off you nigger, I only want to deal with white homos" as some people might mistakenly think.

The people who are making excuses about how their jobs censoring textbooks and replacing names are vital for "social acceptance of ethnic minorities" perhaps need to rethink their outlook on life - im sure I get out more, and im a geek. If people treat snowmen as offensive and racist symbols, thats what they will become.

What these people do not realise is noone takes them seriously. I have made a habbit - each time I see a question about "Abul Madeek-Aught" (thanks gus for the name), I neatly cross it out and write "John". Why complicate matters?
