YSK in the U.S., you can buy produce directly from black farmers and they will ship it to you. It can cost less than your supermarket and will piss off people in power. in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

In deed, man... If you fail to get it, that's you then.

You don't live in a village. You live in a nation with easy access to products and produce from boarder to boarder (until someone decides to mess that up). You're "local" farmer is easily both that white and that black farmer.

And if you're tired of the focus of things being on skin color or sexual orientation, even more of a reason to level out those statistics because, while those statistics continue to show a disparity of opportunity between White and POC/Queer individuals, you're damn right the focus should and will remain with the latter.

I'm late to this thread, but, if you want a challenge, here's an idea...

Make two simple games... like, maybe Pong and Asteroids, but, set it up so that the player can swap between the two games at will (maybe by pressing the TAB key, for example). However, both games should still be actively running even when not actively being played. Maybe, for fairness and an additional challenge, if one of the games isn't actively being played, it still updates, but the updates are at half speed.

Is this a solid game idea? Probably not... but it would be a fun challenge to see if it can be pulled off smoothly.

To flip this argument... Are the vegetables from a black farmer worse than a white farmer? Do queer farmers make worse cheese than a straight farmer? I somehow doubt it. Therefore, if output is equal, maybe it's time to spread the love to these black and queer farmers.

You say, "in the end, it's a matter of skill and you can have that regardless of your sexuality or skin color"... and that sounds great, on it's face, but using that as your argument now, when, statistically, it's shown over and over again that skill is rarely the factor that matters, is disingenuous. When we, as a society, can get to a point where we can regularly show that, statistically, race and sexuality (or any other reason humanity chooses to use to make "others" out of our fellows) truly do not effect ones prosperity, then, and only then, would your statement hold any meaning.
