In the South Park game the “difficulty” setting is a slider that changes your skin tone.

And Jew is a character class that starts rich, but everyone hates you.

It’s a fake slider. Cartman just say it will affect every aspect of your life, just not the game one. Still funny af.

Hmm, it fits to the literal meaning, at least. If you are awake, you see the reality.

Racism is an Easter egg in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Grand Theft Auto V.

Sounds like this will be the first for racial profiling by police, well if the denial of it happening in V is true.

Sometimes, the cops will say “I only listen to white rappers”

I think that’s very funny and poignant satire. It’s racism of the most stupid and least consequential order.

I always thought they were more aggressive with Lamar vs Trevor out in Blaine County. At least it always felt that way when playing.

That’s actually kinda awesome imo. GTA has always been a parody of real life; parodying police brutality against minorities might actually help people to stop and notice when it happens irl (assuming they handle it well).

That said, and I might be misremembering this, didn’t postal 2 do this? You never saw it happen to you since the Postal Dude’s white, but I swear I remember cops would occasionally randomly arrest people who weren’t white. That’s not to say that Postal 2 is “”“woke”“”, it’s about as far from it as you can be; nor do I think that a lot of the jokes would land nowadays because some of the edgier ones were satirizing the politics of the time. However, I vaguely remember it having some really potent satire about society hiding under the crackhead edgy humor (the Postal Dude is literally a crackhead).
