    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.

    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

              Others make it clear their stupidity is absolutely genuine by doubling down when they’re wrong, to comical extremes.

              “Klansman”, lmao, and telling me to get over myself.

      Maybe the genie is not actually obligated to grant wishes, and could just turn you inside out if they wanted to.

    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.
