Who would have thought that a game series where Americans of Chinese descent were rounded up and put into camps to be experimented upon might have something to say about racism?

I remember making that discovery in Old World Blues and it was such a jarring tonal shift. It's like "Wacky 50's sci-fi movie concepts! Enjoy the campy robots and the funny scientists and this reference to an atrocity the US Government committed on its own soil and is still in living memory!"

Grim as fuck, New Vegas has tonal problems here and there ngl.

Okay but the show isn't that, and the show doesn't say anything about racism. Segregation, the race based narrative of the cold war rhetoric, and casual racism of the American setting is fully excised.
