Measurehead's advanced racism
He's such a perfect send up of racists. He embodies their highest ideals and he's still nothing more than a shabby pawn.
The funniest part is that in one of his dialogue trees, he reveals that he's never actually been to the Semenine islands and his whole understanding of Semenese culture is based on stuff he's read and heard on the radio. He legitimately has no real understanding of the culture he presents as superior, and no place in it.
The best thing about DE is that even if you do get slightly ahead by internalizing racism to pass the human barrier, it doesn't really do anything for you.
Same with Mazovism, it incentivizes you to act like a jackass for very little payoff. It's great design.
