I have many problems with Infinite's storyline but other people have written about it better than I can

The problem I have with this article is that the racism portrayed in Infinite is not solely about whites against blacks. It more reflects the sentiments of anti-immigration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, where US citizens practically hated everyone that came to their country from overseas.

It's not just the blacks that Columbia hates. Nor is it just the blacks that make up the ranks of the Vox Populi.

Also, the idea that the Vox Rebellion has no parallel with the French or Communist revolutions because they "consisted primarily of white people who weren’t slaves" is very misinformed. The workers in Finkton are not slaves. They were considered to be lesser people who were paid wages. This is why we don't see parallels to the Underground Railroad or escape attempts. The people in Finkton very much want the amenities that Columbia has. That is why they are breaking their backs in Finkton in the first place. They came by choice, and they realized how wrong their choice was. But, they still want Columbia, and the way they see to do it is to incite rebellion.

He makes a comparison to the idea that black people rebellions are portrayed as scary and violent. The idea isn't that black people revolts are scary and violent. It's that anyone who believes "my way or the highway" and gets enough power to enforce that ideal will have the tendency to lean towards insane. Booker even makes the comment about how similar Comstock and Daisy were in their ideals.
