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.
