Racism is an Easter egg in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Grand Theft Auto V.

Sounds like this will be the first for racial profiling by police, well if the denial of it happening in V is true.

Sometimes, the cops will say "I only listen to white rappers"

I think that's very funny and poignant satire. It's racism of the most stupid and least consequential order.

I always thought they were more aggressive with Lamar vs Trevor out in Blaine County. At least it always felt that way when playing.
