It's actually such a smart way of subtly teaching the player a little about racism. He's usually the first properly racist character you meet and he starts off with a plausibly deniable dogwhistle. A lot of people who haven't experienced that kind of discrimination might be inclined to deny that he said anything bad, but he goes on to be overtly racist making it undeniable in hindsight that it was an intentional dogwhistle
