Except Shadowrun is very clear that it's taking those tropes and applying them to real-world racial politics. It's the precise moment that fantasy-racism meets real world racism.

To be fair, when the material originated, "even if there are real genetic differences, we should hold to equality as a principle despite this" was probably a defensible position. Just not so much six editions later.

e: Native Americans taking back most of North America is probably the most awesome part of Shadowrun, but to quote First Nations goon Crosswell, "that really isn't what a Ghost Dance is about."
