My view on the racism part *spoiler* (Gaming)

But my issue with it is that racism is held up as this card: "look at our deep story", by giving you the choices, the pieces of side dialogue where Booker is kind to the odd minority, the cliched twist of power corrupting - it's not nearly as clever as it thinks it is. In my opinion, anyway.

I never saw the race part as being held up as the "deep" part of the story personally. It was talked about before the release of the game a lot, and I think that's why people think that, but in the story it's a side note more than it is a key plot point. If anything it is used as one of the many examples of the differences between Booker and Comstock's personalities.
