...also to add to the racism thing (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 wrote pages and pages in response to your initial post. I'll edit it down and post it eventually, but I'm wondering what you're referring to when you mention the pieces of side dialogue where Booker is the odd minority.
I said where he's kind to the odd minority - at the beach front he catches a servant having a smoke and says something to the effect of "I'm not here to stop you", on the approach to Fink town he says something about starving and he makes a comment to Elizabeth in the segregated toilets.
