It doesn't help.

And the twist is that he also becomes a Traveller in Ireland

It's not prejudiced, though.

inb4 but I'm white and had a hard life - it could've been even harder.

[2ugly2live@lemmy.world]

Easier, not easy.

Depends on where you was born

Where is it harder to be hispanic or black? In Hispanola or Africa? Life isn't equally oppressive across the entire world

This assumes that I am suggesting women have it easiest.

I am suggesting a white man who has boobs and is hot would have it easiest.

[keropoktasen@lemmy.world]

Nah. He will be blamed for everything that's happening in the world. White guilt is real.

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

This is the internet version of that one annoying kid that showed up on the playground, claimed they could beat everyone in Mario Kart, then never played wgen presented the chance and instead told some made up story about how they stole their parent's car to buy drugs or some bullshit.

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.

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

[fabledaepitaph@lemmy.world]

The race thing is just a diversion from the fact that financial prosperity is the true great division that separates us. But just keep believing that white people have it easier just because they're white, because that's much better for the oligarchs.

To be fair black people have been forcibly kept in lower class by white people
