They also use skin color and while that can be argued as being random (not many colors to choose from), I'm sure they can show a pretty high correlation that white players in real life are depicted as white in the game, and same with black. And then I also remember a couple examples of a black player being portrayed as white in a particular version, and EA going back and fixing it with an update.

I'd assume that would be a pretty telling example to bring up, if it actually happened.
