Except the game's already poisoned the well right from the get-go as to if they are human or not and then further muddled it with scenes like the back of the bus bit. The androids are blatantly sentient from the get-go and are also suffering a near-identical discrimination to what black people suffered; the exact same one that was going on with Rosa Parks which kicked off the major civil rights reform. There's really no other way to interpret it as anything other than an allegory for racism that has a veil so thin that you can see the throbbing erection of 'fight racism! And if you disagree with us you're racist' underneath.

Simply put, the game doesn't 'ask the question'. It has made up its mind as to what the answer is already and is forcing you to come to that answer. It's especially telling when games that haven't even had either topic ('the measure of a man' or 'racism') as it's focus handled it better than DBH. It's a bad game with preachy morals and a foregone conclusion acting far smarter than it actually is for repeating a lesson most of us learned when we were children.
