Color Me Black: Difference between revisions

* [[Rod Serling]] wrote a story called "Color Scheme" where a racist rabble-rouser in the South gets changed into a black man; his victim (a black civil rights preacher whose youngest daughter is killed when his house is set on fire by the mob the racist guy stirred up) turns white and [[Ironic Echo|uses the rabble-rouser's own words against him.]] [[Downer Ending|It ends]] with the preacher returned to his black self but pushed past the [[Despair Event Horizon]] and believing [[God Is Evil]] and [[Humans Are Bastards]] while the racist-- stillracist—still black-skinned, what's left of him-- hashim—has been dragged to death behind a car.

* An episode of ''[[South Park]]'' has the boys making [[Token Evil Teammate|Cartman]] think he's...[[Redheaded Stepchild|a ginger]]. Freckles and hair dye. The episode then turns this on its head--ratherhead—rather than making Cartman rethink his horrible attitude, he actually ''starts a ginger supremacist movement'' and nearly kills every non-ginger in the town.

* ''[[Gargoyles]]'' villain [[Big Bad|Demona]] summons and binds [[Great Gazoo|Puck]] and forces him to grant her various wishes, [[Jackass Genie|which he delights in twisting because he dislikes her]], and because her wishes consist of "[[Kill All Humans]]," a species of which Puck is fond. She also wishes that she would not turn to stone during the day like other gargoyles -- whichgargoyles—which Puck grants by causing her to turn ''human'' during the day instead. And in this case, it's permanent. As usual, Demona learns nothing.
