OT - politically correct and not quite thought through !
A black women gets offered a white prosthetic leg which she understandably
complains about ...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3178525.stm
A Disability Rights Commission spokesman said:
"It is an absolute disgrace.
Disabled people shouldn't have to put up with a one-size-fits-all attitude.
They should be entitled to the same choices as *non-disabled people*."
???

Re: OT - politically correct and not quite thought through !

The funny bit was the disability bloke saying that she was entitled to the
same choice of leg as a non disabled person (who wouldnt need one would they
?)
