Why there is no racism in Fallout 4?
You can create a Negro character and expect racist reaction from environment. :steamsalty:
At least from raiders and other gangs and thugs. :steamhappy:

Why all those boodthirsty killers are so politically correct? It's not a land of ponies and rainbows anymore. :derp:
They don't know that nuclear war happened and government will not punish them for "calling N-word" and hostile actions? :steamfacepalm: :steammocking:

Just download mods, get long meaty stick in your poopoo and be called easy woman /sexual intercourse labour person with ugly slang name as female character, or ♥♥♥♥♥♥/cracker as male character and get shot in the face on sight by diamond security for nothing, except beeing vault dweller (filthy blue skin)

Though i love racism versus white race in reality, N-word, censored "cracker" completly fine.

Funny innit.
There is racism. It's against ghouls, synths, mutants, et cetera. Some of them are justified, some not.

Racism against humans doesn't really exist anymore because over the past 210 years, people have been forced to work together to survive and they have better things to worry about than the pigment of someone's skin. Instead, people became prejudiced towards synths/ghouls/mutants for the same reasons people were racist against other human races: they viewed them as subhuman.
Fallout has a early 1900s art style and thematic but its really set in a fantasy version of that and the actual date of the great war is set in 2070. I don't think there was alot of racism pre-war then, at least it didn't concern the public conciousness whatsoever. You have to understand the causes of racism to see why.

There are just my opinions so feel free to disagree but the way I see it. Racism can either come from the top-downwards or bottom-upwards. From the top, leaders use scapegoating like with the war propaganda to paint an outside threat and say we have to unite to defeat it! This has a side effect of generating hatred and that leads to suffering like yoda says. The nazis used this and worked it into their idealogy because its a powerful political effect to mobilize and control a nation. In fallout there was anti-communist propaganda billboards everywhere, and probably on the TV and radio too. Our closest equivalent is probably the anti-russian propaganda about election interference.

Then you have the other reasons from the bottom which are mainly to do with the logical displacement and emotional tension from displacement and feelings of betrayal. People have ideas about their identity and when faced with evidence that this is not true that is when cognitive dissonance occurs. For example: if I believe that all of my group believes that violence is wrong, and anyone can say what they want even if it's wrong. But then I find out later that at least half of my group, maybe more believes that there are certain things you cannot say and that they must be silenced by force if necessary. It leads to cognitive dissonance. My belief in the group identity and shared beliefs is therefore wrong, which leads to anxiety, which leads to these reactions: Either I revise my group identity to not include this group, and feel betrayed. Or this person would recognize some sort of difference between you and that group, such as skin color or point of origin, other shared beliefs etc. If the person is unwilling to do this because they have been conditioned to believe that seeing differences between people is wrong, then they will switch allegiance and act against their own interests essentially considering themselves as part of the 'other side'. For many this is more an emotional reaction than a logical one and so it continues to cause anxiety and discomfort, which makes it difficult for them to even think about the issue reasonably. So you can see in this way presumptions about shared identity can lead to problems. Obviously to some people it is not important what others think, they have a weak shared identity. These sorts of people tend to not be concerned about others feelings and more with their own and so this appears as more selfish behaviours but, this causes cognitive dissonance which they then have to justify their behaviours to themselves because they do not often want to consider themselves a selfish person.

This happens more often in countries that have historically been homogenous but recently have open immigration policies and that appear quite wealthy (this is the biggest pull force for immigration), as the overall feeling will shift from say 99% people having a shared belief to 70% people sharing a belief. Eventually you reach a point where there is a 50/50 or more divide and major cognitive dissonance occurs in the majority of the population. This is a serious identity crisis and this leads to racism.

In addition there is feelings of displacement which is self-explanatory. People feel that they personally, their identity or their group is being replaced or pushed out. Which leads to dissonance and well racism from there many times.

The problem with racism really is when it goes out of control, I don't know why but some people just can't moderate their opinions or seperate emotions from decision making. I've seen it happen myself, I'm not sure if its because these people are ignored or criticized but it goes from being justifiably upset or angry but still capable of reasoning and changing opinions to outright blind hatred and it just keeps getting worse until eventually reason doesn't matter any more. The ends become the means. These people also tend to seek power and control over others so they can spread their belief. This is the real kind of racism that is terrible and dangerous. I've seen so many times in my life people who blame the victims and hate people who defend themselves or other people. Instead of the ones who are causing the problem. To many refuse to acknowledge the displacement and psychological damage that is occuring because of mass immigration. Sadly in the real world these misunderstandings will only lead to conflict and violence because our survival instincts demand that we act against perceived threats. Even if cognitive dissonance makes us turn against our own people or act against our own interests sometimes.

Fallout society pre-war was simply not at this stage yet, its stated in the lore that they closed up and became protectionist or isolationist after ww2, later just before the war most of the world is fighting resource wars, over potable water, arable land and oil shortages. (America refuses to export oil in fallout which lead to china invading Alaska because it has huge untapped oil deposits even in real life.) I expect people were more concerned about the wars and shortages and crime than virtually non-existent immigration they also had a strong group identity. The paragraph at the very end is just for idiots who only read the last paragraph instead of everything please don't take it seriously.

racism is a big button issue these days because of islamic terrorism and mass immigration and it really upsets people so its easy to use it to get attention but i think the bigger issue is corporations and the amount of power and influence they have. Some have grown too big and diverisfied, especially tech companies like Google they control too much information. It's too easy for them to manipulate people. You know back in 90s the magazine/journos used to talk about governments doing surgery and microchipping people and tracking them wherever they go. They were afraid of it. The reality is that they just put the tracking chips in smart phones, cars and passports instead. They still know everything you do, everywhere you go now. All without anyone getting upset. Remember its to keep you safe, to provide a better service. To prevent terrorism, to protect your children, to prevent crime.

I know I come off as being really anti-immigration but I'm not, I'm anti-mass immigration yes but only because its very harmful. Immigration is a good thing because it helps us spread our values through the world. Then we can turn them into homosexuals easier and ruin their population growth. It's all part of Valve's evil plan to dominate the world by turning it gay you see.
There is racism. Ghouls vs Humans

Racism has ALWAYS been a big button issue. Americans, and Europeans can't get enough of it.

It comes and goes, depending what the newspapers are busy reporting or whatever other distractions can be conjured up to make money off of hurt feelings. Honestly I think people spend more time thinking about celebrity marriages breaking down and sports victories than anything important.

The Brotherhood would disagree.
As far as I can see it, you can be as much of a racist as you would like to be in the game. It seems the role playing freedom is there to be that way if that is what you want in the game.

Really?

Yeah, instead of Dreaming a better future, go out and make it. Dreaming has gotten very few results in my opinion (Not saying it's gotten none, just saying saying its ratio of dream to results isn't even close to Work's ratio.).

Dreaming is a facet of imagination; the ability to perceive that which does not exist. But far from being some useless whimsy, this imagination is also what gives us vision and allows us to plan for the future that is yet to come.

Work and dream are partners; dreaming shows you the path and work lets you walk it.
There are clear signs of racisms:

Institute as a whole is 'greater/master race' approach
Ghouls
Synts

I don't see that 'no racism'.

F4 clearly has racist ideas in it, just not as obvious as in Dragon Age or older RPGs.
Black and white put aside their differences and ganged up on green.

People in the Fallout universe are pretty prejuduced against ghouls and super mutants instead.
