      What an odd thing to take issue with in this comic. You’re the only one here that seems to think the skin color of the characters in the comic are even relevant.

      Odd that you latch onto that but not how the lower 50% is depicted. And nowhere does it say each person is a racial representation of that class.
      You’re real fucking dumb.
