Is bioshock infinite racist? (Black people only)

Post Body

Before I say anything, I'd like to hear from people who played the game and/or the dlc, but if you didn't, that's totally okay and we can still have a conversation. I don't want you to not answer just because you didn't play the game since you still have valuable insight. I'm just missing a lot of context from the game and I'd like to see if anyone else has the context (and maybe it's better with the context. Idk).

I played BioShock 1, started, but didn't finish, infinite, and am playing BioShock 2. I just looked up if BioShock infinite is problematic since some art, especially games, sometimes struggles with the concept of race, especially when not handled by Black people (a concept talked about in BioShock infinite).

But, apparently, Daisy sacrifices herself for a white woman and brooker basically states how racism/hate goes both ways. Now, mind you, I didn't even get that far so I have none of the context, but that... rubs me the wrong way.

I'm hoping some Black gamers here can state their opinions since I am simply not Black and know I simply lack the nuance (and context) to really form an opinion on this.
