So i am watching a stream of Guardians of Galaxy, and was shocked at the racist joke in the game.
In a sequence where they talk to the Nova World mind you can fill out a application to join the core. On it it asks what planet you from one of the choices is "Urf". The well known and lowkey racist meme from ID4 https://www.gq.com/story/will-smith-never-said-welcome-to-earf-in-independence-day...
