BIOSHOCK INFINITE RACISM SERIES

I don't think Booker is racist, but defintely a flawed hero who ultimately redeems himself in the end. I only used the word battle because the game uses the word Battle And I also am aware that there was no such thing as a “Battle” of wounded Knee because the actual event in history was a straight up massacre of mostly Native American civilians. Although we know that at least one Booker sided with the Vox Populi, so maybe that Booker decided to redeem himself by joining the oppressed instead of being an oppressor.Īs a final note, I don’t mean to come off as racist if I poorly worded anything. But he still tried to do morally right things overall. Somewhat racist because that was the norm at the time. So Booker, at best, is a man of his time. The atrocities he committed cause him to either stay Booker DeWitt, the cynical and not that heroic hero we play as, or he becomes Comstock as a way of convincing himself that what he did was right. He was nicknamed “The White Injun” for this (Injun being slang for Indian) I may be slightly misremembering the details, but Booker felt the need to “prove his whiteness” for lack of better words by being extra brutal in the battle and scalping the native Americans he killed. In an audio diary, Comstock remembers being called out before the battle of wounded knee by the general guy or whatever who said “you got a teepee or two in your family tree, don’t you son?” Referring to Booker/Comstock’s mixed race heritage.

Keep in mind that Booker isn’t even full white.

By now he knows it doesn’t get him anywhere. You could say that maybe he’s given up on racism by the time the events of infinite. However Booker responds with something like “hey if you got em, smoke em” and that he isn’t interested in harassing a black man even though he could. Presumably luxuries such as cigarettes are not available to Colombian blacks, even those that live outside finktown. However there’s also a point when you can find a black man smoking a cigarette and when he is approached, he freaks out because he’s caught by a white man (Booker). When Elizabeth asks him why there’s separate colored and white bathrooms, he simply says “that’s just how it is.” He doesn’t seem as outwardly slavery and genocide racist as comstock but still has some racial prejudice. How do I extract sounds/textures/models from the game? Is the Season Pass / Ultimate Rapture Edition worth it? What order should I play the games / Do I have to play all the games to understand BioShock Infinite or Burial at Sea?
