Endermen are famously inspired by the creepy pasta Slenderman.

Markus Pearson has a lot of problems, but I haven’t seen anything to confirm that Endermen are born from racism. Everything mentioned in the image was just an unfortunate collection of coincidences.

(I’m researching this and found a funny comment about how Notch put Endermen in the game then immediately admitted that they were a horrible idea because their taking blocks disrupted normal gameplay.)

Yeah notch is a dick, but this might be a stretch. What color would you make endermen to make them visually distinct from everything else in the game?
