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.
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.
Nah. He will be blamed for everything that’s happening in the world. White guilt is real.
“Black, white, you’ll still not experience what it’s like to be blue. Or have your deed of slavery cursed into a literal lamp.”
He was later rejected by his family and ended up homeless and struggling.
Genie: congratulations you are now a health insurance CEO! You will not know suffering for the rest of your days
Say what you will, but the genie never misses ab day.
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.
And the twist is that he now is a Traveller in Ireland
That context wasn’t free of consequences. You guys asked for it
wouldve been more effective to just make him rich
I didn’t see the eyes at first and though the mustache and beard were representing them, turning the genie into biblically accurate version
Should’ve become old as well.
You can’t see it but the genie also changed his name.
Haha, take that, white people!! You’ve got it so easy, apparantly!
Easier
Although I’d love to see more class-conscious memes and activism.
Yes, it’s harder to be black/hispanic. Yes, it’s harder to be a woman. Yes, it’s harder to be LGBT, especially T. But what really sucks so hard and hits almost all of us (and minorities often get it even worse due to workplace discrimination and lower rates of ownership!) is the oppression of the working class.
Our most unscrupulous and evil oppressors don’t lose all that much from retranslating slogans about equality between people of all genders, races, sexual orientations etc.; in fact, they will play chameleon and pretend to support any dominant rhetoric - except the one that can actually make a giant change, but at their expense - the rhetoric of a class war. Combine this with corporate power and reach, and you’ll see how we got to addressing literally anything but not the elephant in the room.
Worker-led societies generally promote equal access to jobs, education and services to people of all ethnicities, genders and other traits, bolster a culture of global friendship and cooperation, and promote sustainable development that puts people - all people - first.
It’s in our common interest to put class war as our very first priority - for the greater good of us all.
Where is it harder to be hispanic or black? In Hispanola or Africa? Life isn’t equally oppressive across the entire world
Easier, not easy.
Well as long as racism exists and is prevalent, we got it “not as hard”.
Such a strawman, lol. The comic clearly says ‘eas_ier_’
Im just saying the blue man needs to check his prejudices
It’s not prejudiced, though.
inb4 but I’m white and had a hard life - it could’ve been even harder.
Depends on where you was born, like maybe life is easier for blue people wherever the blue man was from
