I feel like your question of "race" based on skin tone is misplaced, though your core idea is a solid one. Take for instance your Group A and Group B. One is the conqueror and the other is subjugated. The color of their skin probably doesn't have anything to do with the situation in the way we think of it in our world. However, each group's sense of "the other" is key to their perspective and how they would interact to someone outside their group. That's the core of racism in our society, and it really has little to do with the particular color of someone's skin; we, as a whole, look for ways to differentiate "us" from "them".

So maybe you can figure out ways to differentiate one type of people from another visually, such as manner of dress, that will work in a very-visual video game setting. Maybe everyone from Group A wears a particular type of hat, and Group B a particular color of coat.
