    Arthur is an incredible character and it is insane that they imagine to themselves that his mannerisms and shit change cause he is not being racist. Like same mo-cap as always ffs. Like they show Arthur be ignorant to racial injustices, or nuances, and learn, he doesn't make a declaration about white privilege or anything, but he recognizes how fucked things are in his own way.

    Also the game is set in 1899 FFS, like pro-native american sentiment for instance was at its peak, racial justice was as much a battleground as ever but this was just 9 years after the UMWA came onto the scene taking up the fight of the KOL but significantly being integrated. It would be a shock if across the states in RDR2 the UMWA wasn't operating at least one union or had connections. The point is the 1890s are not some monolith of bigotry
