Think about it.

I don't think that the game is racist - they had no problem portraying whites as lying, thieving murdering scum (along with Blacks and Hispanics) in the first two games. They are in my mind equal opportunity - EVERYONE is bad, and usually equally so. Plus, some of the overly racial stuff is probably there solely to piss people off, especially after the whole "Kill the Haitians" debacle in VC.
Getting actors of any sort to make people feel "in the game" is very goofy at best, and is arguably racist. I don't see the point to doing it, and it seems like bad business to me, but what do I know.
