To: codebreaker
This griping goes all the way back to Star Wars, when after it became a mega hit, black activists complained that although there were aliens all over the film, there were no blacks. George Lucas conceded the point, and gave Lano Calrissian to Billy Dee Williams. Now that he is careful to include non whites, he gets attacked for including people, instead of leaving them out. Which just proves there is no pleasing the professionally offended.

"professionally offended"

Good term. I like it. Perhaps you should submit it to the FR glossary.
