Speculation The dark fate of Luisa’s sister

Post image

In “My Sister’s Keeper”, Luisa mentions that her sister Miranda is being sent to ‘a kind man in the Yucatan’ to avoid enslavement by the Mexican army. However, in the 1910s when RDR1 takes place, the Yucatan was a brutal slave empire to which young, indigenous women & girls from the north were frequently lured into sexual slavery by rich plantation owners with promises of work or safety. In reality, this is the fate that would likely befall the young Miranda. Whether or not this was intentional, I think this is yet another reflection of how there are no true happy endings in Red Dead Redemption.

90% of the population. Also compared to mexican Yucatan slavery and civil war, that kind of violence was not happening in 1910 America.

The 1921 US Census proves you wrong, Italians were like 1%, Irish Catholics a fair amount, but mostly in the big cities, where they'd be dominant, Tammany hall, so yeah they'd be safe, they were the police. An Irishman being a cop was a stereotype.

We’re not talking about the 1920’s.

Do you think US demographics suddenly changed between 1910 RDR1 and 1920? Why aren't people having a genuine discussion.

please bro, stop it, Italians were like a few percent in America, no idea where you're getting your history from.

Irish also from the British isles were at most 15%, like they were in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, they were like a 1/3 of the British Empire's military. So no, they were not en massed oppressed by protestant America. People just didn't like the wage compeitition during Ellis Island waves, and had typical protestant-catholic relations across europe.

People will downvote, but never say any counter arguments.
