The following is an extract from a News Paper article I just read:
PLAY DOUGH PASSES TEST
By Blair Mayston
Play dough passes the coutural safety test at Otago playcentres, but other food products do not, the president of the Otago Playcentre Federation, Imogen Coxhead, says.
Mrs Coxhead said dshe was aware some centres around New Zealand would not use play dough.
However, Otago Maoria seemed to have no objection to play dough, she said.
Other items traditionally used in play by preshoolers like potatoes for potato paints and pasta for collages were not used.
"It's all part of our coummitment to the Treaty of Waitangi, we are to take our commitment to bi-culturalism very seriously", she said.
--------------------------------------------
Could someone please explain to me how the hell a potato is less PC than play dough... maybe my maori blood is blinding me to you white peoples stereotypes?
Jesus bloody christ - PCness has gone too far damnit!!!!

I don't know why I find that phrase so amusing... wait, yes I do. It's a topic about being Politically Correct, yet you talk about the "whites'" stereotyping. I'm curious... am I considered one of the whites? I'm Irish, but does that qualify me as being one of the whites? Naw... I think it's them SCOTTISH buggers!@#$%^&*
Hehehehe damn you're adorable sometimes. http://www.thehypertribe.net/ubb/smile.gif

i think they were unsure how the community would react to children playing with modeling clay made out of the corpses of maori babies. i agree, stop being so fucking sensitive.
