South Park video game's difficulty level is directly tied to the skin color as well.

What's funny about that is the "difficulty slider" doesn't actually affect gameplay.

"Just every other aspect of your life."

I don't remember if it does in Stick of Truth, but it does affect some things in Fractured But Whole.

He was later rejected by his family and ended up homeless and struggling.

That man is going to get an extremely brutal lesson in the difference between absolute and relative values.

In true genie fashion, the only change in their life is that now, a single occasion where a racist person decided not to hold a door open for them, changes so that they do.

Genies are all about malicious compliance.

Lol. I don't know how you managed to have the absolute worst take to this stupid comic, but congratulations.

"The only racism Black people experience is one person not holding a door." LMFAO

Say what you will, but the genie never misses ab day.

Hope they made him suburban rich too

I didn't see the eyes at first and though the mustache and beard were representing them, turning the genie into biblically accurate version

Genie: congratulations you are now a health insurance CEO! You will not know suffering for the rest of your days

[–] this@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

You can't see it but the genie also changed his name.

[–] 4oreman@lemy.lol 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

wouldve been more effective to just make him rich

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

easy is relative. all depends on how you see the world. while there is quantitative evidence for genetics to play a part in it, ease can be changed just as much by the person as by the environment.
