the race of the protagonist, primary antagonist, deuteragonist and daisy fitzroy were more or less integral to the story of columbia, which was secondary to the plot and its focus on constants and variables.

the vox populi didn't just represent poc though, they represented the downtrodden and destitute, those who were fucked over by comstock and fink, and that group was comprised mostly of poc and those of irish descent. it could be argued, thus, that daisy could have been white and irish (as iirc they originally intended her to be) but then the wank would be about white saviours (and to an extent it already is since one alternate booker was a martyr for the vox cause).

infinite wasn't telling us that the oppressed were just as bad as comstock, fink and all the other institutional oppressors. infinite was telling us, through fitzroy's cause, that extremism is harmful regardless of which side you are on. fitzroy didn't want to stop at liberating the oppressed or making life better for those people. she wanted to punish the oppressors in violent ways - not just the oppressors, even, but all those associated with them. her focus was on revenge, not a better life, which the game made obvious between first meeting her and watching her die. i equate it to how they portrayed atlas/frank fontaine in bioshock 1, though to a lesser extent. fitzroy was depicted as being a beacon of hope for the otherwise hopeless, but in the end she shows her true colours.

I've been following a LP of this and am kind of surprised this would be the case in the fandom--I suppose partially to blame because this is missable, but one of the voxophones (sp?) makes it clear that Booker wasn't trying to be a martyr or hero at all. He just gets used as a martyr after the fact because the circumstances of his death make a good story to rally people around.
