I have been aware of how easily my own memory can be manipulated, even by my own self. I've taken stories told to me years ago and have retold them as I had lived them. Then there was the whole Shaq Kazam movie that people swore existed but never did.

- wahern 7y agoI think he meant the mass delusion about Sinbad playing a genie in a movie called Shazaam.

Personally, I think it happened because Sinbad regularly wore windbreakers and parachute pants, the name Sinbad sounds stereotypically Arabic, and perhaps because of his darker skin and pan-ethnic features. When I stumbled onto the meme I never once thought I remembered such a movie, but I instantly understood why people would think that way.
