I'm glad you reminded me of that series because I watched the first part but didn't get a chance to finish the rest.
I'm glad that someone did a deep dive on that game, because the slimy and subversive way that Levine tries to feed the game into your brain makes my fucking skin crawl.
Honestly, I haven’t played it since release so I don’t recall the racial angle at all. Like I know it’s implied with the lady being black and all the mains being white but I don’t remember the division ever being spoken to as anything beyond class
One of the very first things that happens in the game is you win a lottery to throw the first stone (or baseball as it were) at a man and woman who are being publicly stoned to death for being an interracial couple. Comstock also has an audio recording openly venting his racism against blacks and the superiority of whites as he denounces Lincoln for freeing them from slavery.
It's double stupid considering that the city is explicitly an ethnostate. American Krogan has a series on Bioshock Infinite.

Damn. I was so innocent I didn’t even notice
Replying to make sure I watch these later.
Same. I wish there were more content creators like American Krogan.
