Interesting, if not new, concept. I'm a bit hesitant though.
The issue a lot of these "humanity of machines" stories have is that the machines are basically just humans. On one hand it makes for an easy analogy for racism and apartheid, which was what Detroit: BH used it for.
On the other the idea of them being androids becomes pointless if they are portrayed exactly like humans. "If it looks like a duck..." basically
This is not to say that it can't be good still, it definitely can, but the Android aspect feels wasted.
