it's funny you mentioned that because I didn't realize until I looked it up just now but the character with the most overtly political dialogue is black

Sorry (not sorry) to double post, but...

JC also tends toward getting in political arguments/discussions ... with black bartenders at night clubs.

There's one in Paris:

And one in Hong Kong:

Going by the voice acting... uh... well, they're not the same person... the guy in Paris has an actual French accent... but the guy in Hong Kong... has an Australian or New Zealand accent?

???

No clue what real world person actually voiced these two characters, but I am guessing it was two different people.

There's actually 4 male bartenders in the game, all black, and each one with a different voice actor - an Irish guy (the Lucky Money club one you linked, although I definitely feel like he's supposed to be doing an Australian accent), one actual black guy (the Paris hotel one you linked), a French guy (a different Paris bartender), and a Chinese guy.

I assume they just had this one character model and reused it - the game definitely does this a bunch. But this one's just one of the most blatant examples because all of these characters have dialogue and they're all obviously different voices.

Well hey there ya go, I missed two.

The ones I specifically remembered... stuck out to me as particularly political convos JC can have with them.

The NSF guy you're supposed to interrogate in the first level is also black.
