| Police forced to spend £15,000 on new school mascot because it's 'too male and white' Police chiefs will spend £15,000 creating "ethnically diverse" mascots after one of their officers criticised an existing model for being too male and white. PCSO Steve, a uniformed mascot complete with over-sized head and equipment, was created by the Metropolitan Police for visits to primary schools. But one of the force's sergeants slammed the character for failing to represent the capital's communities. He said the figure, which is white with blue eyes and blond hair, risks leaving Asian and women officers "isolated". The comments sparked a public row with some claiming the criticism was taking political correctness too far. Now senior officers said they will invest £15,000 in the design and production of three new characters. Met Police forced to spend £15,000 on new mascot - because old one is 'too male and white' | the Daily Mail What a waste of money. If we lived in a truly multiracial society , why would it matter if a mascot was white?      |
