* There's a hilarious scene where a black man is complaining to himself about having to clean up after his employers in clearly educated language. When he realizes Booker is there, he immediately switches to "just an ignorant negro" mode and says he was [[BlatantLies just joking]]. A player may have a quiet chuckle at how bad his lie is...[[RealityEnsues until you remember]] [[MoodWhiplash the racial dynamics at play]] and the fact that he might well be ''lynched'' if Booker tells anyone. Just to underline it, you can find the same guy cleaning the "Colored and Irish" bathrooms a few minutes later, and he quietly asks you to leave before you get him in trouble.
